Cherishing each other
My siblings and I have been 'orphans' since April of 2017, when my last parent made her exit from this life. Her pictures, words, mannerisms, efforts, and other elements of her existence often cross my mind. Even more so, is the fact that persons who knew her remind me that I look, speak/sound, act and think like a younger version of her. Unfortunately, that very similarity may have been the cause of our frequent 'head-butting' whilst she was here. All I can cherish now are the memories.A part of showing love is cherishing those that you care about. They may be friends, family, pets, work colleagues, neighbours, etc. It is especially important, I think, to cherish those who give meaning to our life, even if indirectly so. A phone call, a small token/gesture, a kind note, a word of thanks, a smile, a hug, a wave....a little can go a long way.
Don't wait...let's cherish each other today.

hope you and your siblings are doing well and ARE cherishing each other.
Sometimes after loss in a family many families do knit/bond better together, however sometimes after a loss especially the death of the mother, the family chain is broken ... understandable too as mothers are the links that keep us together, unfortunately a sad reality of life for some.
My youngest sister died just before Christmas, one of my biggest regrets is I didn't nag her less and cherish her more so I completely agree with you ... we should cherish each other more
May I throw in, we should hug more also as well.
After saying all that, I've decided my living youngest brother is dead to me, shall remain so forever more till he is.
Before you say it or ask me
YES" I'm one of those who does not always practice what she preaches.

Ah CW, at least you're woman enough to admit it!
I've read you regret not cherishing your mother more, because you can't change that, cherish her memory instead... even the above like to feel cherished
That's if you believe in that kind of thing
