Even our resilient and positive mother, Janet Preisel, pictured above, felt a bit down from the health challenges of dealing with cancer. Our father and she had previously retired to North Carolina, and they lived right down the road from her middle child, Colleen. Her bratty youngest, AKA Karin, searched for a way to offer support from New York to Mom between our visits, and "101 Days of Sunshine" was born. Seeing how uplifting it was, I began to write "Bridge to Reminisce" to support Mom from Pennsylvania. The two blogs are related, just like Karin and I are, so I have them linked. An avid reader all her life, Mom enjoyed our amusing stories and would eagerly await new posts. Before she passed, our most supportive fan asked that Karin and I both continue to write after she was gone.
