I hear you. Father's and Mother's Day are usually tough on my wife and I since the death of our 8 year old daughter Kelly in 1991. Janet's Mom, who'll be 96 this August, is still alive and doing well as she recovers from a broken hip suffered about a month ago.Not to be a "buzz kill" but bottle, unbottle, etc. with your moms and dads whenever you can.
Unfortunately mine have both passed. That day comes very quick, trust me, so spend all the time you can with them, when you can, and not just on the Hallmark days.
Love that cab franc!
