I just saw a program on a channel on my smart TV that shows people playing cards. I ended up crying. [View all]

One of the things I used to love doing with my Mom was playing cribbage.
We were pretty evenly matched, and we had fun playing.

Mom died 5 years ago.

Watching a couple people playing a match on the TV, I actually started crying, I sure do miss her.

Grief has no expiration date. I still find myself missing my dear Mother-in-law at times, and she died in 2000! HeartsCanHope Apr 17 #8
