So, it's already been three years since Mom passed. It's taken me a really long time to be able to remember her pre-ALS as well as I remember when she was sick. It's weird how that works, since she was only sick with ALS for a couple of years. More and more, though, I think of her when she was super healthy, and it makes me so happy. So along those lines... some pictures of Mom, the way I remember her best. :-)
