Hi there and welcome - I too lost my mom years ago and miss her still. I totally understwnd - it sounds lik your mom was a fighter. She obviously loved you and your family very much. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to OC - it can be highly aggressive.. Hugs to To you particularly with all you've been through - we're here... wink I'm not sure how religious you are but I truly believ your mom is with you still watching over you. Take care!!! smile
