What is a fond memory of one of your parents?

Thinking about those who have lost a parent and are missing them.

My mom could meet someone at the laundromat and have a great friendship that would last for years. I never appreciated her empathy for everyone she met until years later. I can still see her smil, thinking she was the one being blessed while blessing a complete stranger. Amazing.

My Mom and I did so many things together: ice shows, craft shows. Scrabble every week..

I had amazing parents also.

@trackman11 I did. Wish I had let Mom win, she was so smart. 😌

@JustLikeGreta oh Greta! Don’t be so sure mom wasn’t letting you win. Sounds like she loved you very much. My moms game was canasta and She won. I only had to let her win once. Near the end she just couldn’t concentrate.

@trackman11 Never thought of that. Mom did New York Times crossword puzzles in ink 🙂 I let her win once.
