I didn’t know your Mom very well. I don’t know what her favorite food was, or where she went to school. I don’t know how she met your Dad or where she was born.
But I do know that she had the most amazing smile of anyone I’ve known and the most welcoming and sincere “Hi, how are you?” whenever she saw me walking down the street with Fargo (my big fluffy white dog!) I always had to cross the road to talk to her if I saw her, probably because something told me I’d feel so much better after a chat with Elaine. She did that to you, just lifted your spirits and always wanted to talk about me and my kids, never about herself. And that beaming smile stayed with me after I walked back home. It still does.
