Losing a Mother

S lost his Mom this past Monday.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week.  Lots of time has been spent with family and friends, which is nice, but I do wish it was under different circumstances.  Most of S's family I hadn't even met yet until this week.  They are all very wonderful people and I'm glad to have gotten the chance to meet them all.  But sometimes all the family in the world won't help when the one person you need most is gone...
