Sweetheart, I am all with you on this. My mom died in 2003 just before I turned 25, totally unexpectedly (heart attack), and I ALSO had an incredible weekend with her about two or three weeks before she passed. I went down to Iowa City just to visit and it was one of the first times she and I really began to connect as adults and not just as "mom and child". I began to see her as an individual person who was not just MY MOM, existing just for me. It was an AWESOME weekend (that also involved manual labor!). To this day I'm still bitter that it got taken away from me so soon
