It really is amazing. Thanks for your compliment to my mom. It's very nice of you to say.

My great grandmother raised eight kids by herself, and was another of those people. I have a few photos of her and can see the strength there. By the way, your mother's a lovely looking person. :) It takes a person of character and strength to single-handedly raise a large family, your mom was obviously one of those people.

I can't imagine how awful that must have been for you and your family. Such a tragedy. Your story should give those that read it pause. We shouldn't fritter away the time that we have with our loved ones, since we never now what tomorrow will bring. I thank you for your kind words, and it's really nice to see you here. Ray Hi Terry,

I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. I can’t imagine how awful that must have been for you and your family. Such a tragedy.

I thank you for your kind words, and it’s really nice to see you here.

Your love and respect for your mother is unmistakably clear. In honoring her you have honored yourself as a man of substance. My dear mother was murdered when I was 11. Because of this I have never been able to tolerate boys - they are never men even if they are 40! - who disrespected their mothers. A boy can become a man without a daddy, but not without a mother!
