I don't cry to often anymore, but this brought me to tears of my own memories of both my mom who died 35 years ago and my day 5yrs ago.. Memories may bring tears but also you feel the love you have for them and they had for you...

Interesting to me that it can take a good counselor many, many appointments to dig down to early childhood memories, while beading and handling real objects can bring them forward quite quickly. I feel priviledged to read this post!
