      True. I lost my adoptive mom in 2009 week after Mother’s Day to cancer that came back after being in remission for 7 years and I was really close to her. I was more hurt and emotional with her death than I was with my adoptive dad. Took me a longtime to recover from her death. She was only 50 years at the time. I lost my adoptive dad in 2004 to heart attack and he was 48.

    My heart hurts for Ms. Krista. I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. Thank you Secret Santa for helping Krista during this hard time. Bless the family and Secret Santa. Love and light to you all.
