When Nellie was home with the kids, her mom would often drop by. When Nellie was thirty, her mother died after a short illness. One day, hanging laundry, Nellie looked up at her kitchen window. She saw her mom smiling, as she'd done a hundred times. She'd already turned around when she remembered her mother had died.
