Lorraine was my mom's best friend when we were growing up, and she just so happened to be the mom of my best friend as well. She was my god mother and like a second mother to me. Lorraine had a way of making kids feel very special. She talked to you like you were a real person, and when she looked at you, you knew she *really* saw you. She had a gift of being truly present with people. I loved to hear her laugh...it was uniquely hers. I miss those days of sitting around with her and mom, while they chatted and laughed about everything and nothing. I think Lorraine and my mom got courage from each other to take big steps and leave the small town for big cities and bigger adventures. Lorraine was one of the first single moms I knew, and her and Michael had one of the closest relationships I knew of. She always treated Michael and me with respect, which was kind of unusual for the time and place we lived in. I held their relationship up as a model of closeness that I hoped for with my son. Lorraine, I wish I hadn't lost touch with you in the later years. Thank you for being with my mom when she was in palliative. I know when you passed that she was waiting there for you with open arms and a big smile . xo - Posted by: Cindy Chatwell (God daughter) on: Jul 27, 2013
