Nobody loves you like Mama

"You know, nobody loves you like Mama. And when she's gone you're going to miss her more than anything."

I love Mama   
I was watching the Silver Angel episode of the The Strain when Gus had this to say to the young lady in the Tandoori Palace ... that place at which he had been choosing to dine.

This truism was already evident to me, having lost my biological father and my step father leaving my mama as the only one on earth who loves me.

So when we make plans to spruce up the yard it's only right that we take care of that business with zeal in the memory of my late step father ... who tended so dutifully to it prior to his passing.

Through the several profound senses of loss I have been experiencing I am destined only to ultimately experience more of it ... all too many times I have wished to be the next to pass the surly bonds of this earth.

Like my many other requests, like winning the lottery and such that answer has remained "no" for as long as I can remember. We don't know the full extent of what the future holds in store.

All we can do is be thankful for "the now" and wish for the best for ourselves and loved ones.
