Thanks for being there Mom!!
I still love my Mom for the support she gave me & my 3 brothers through our young life. She raised 4 eagle scouts, & I was first to go to college (G'father asked me "Why? I hear you have to Pay???). She was always there till my father developed Alzheimers. He died 10 years ago at an early age of 76. Alas, his care & demise destroyed her. Despite the excellent care we give her, all we hear now is 'I just want to die'.
But here's to you Mom, I still love you for the person you were. All in all I was very fortunate to be born in our family.
