resurface so I hope all goes well. My Mom was lonely after my Dad died. She wouldn't come to me I lived away from home...and she developed a shopping addiction. She spent every dime of the money left to her by my Dad. I was shocked and surprised at first. But after a while, I decided...that I hope she had a blast doing it. I hope she had the time of her life! She was a great Mom and earned it. I came as often as I could so we had good times too...that bucket list you talk about is awesome.
