It takes a good woman to do what your mother did. There are still a few here and there but not many.
Did she grow up in a largish family herself?
Italian/Armenian mix...four kids in hers. She and my dad stuck it out all those years until they fell in love again in their last decade of life, it was great to see.
Sigh. I sure do miss them both. I saw something the other day where they asked some celebrities who they would talk to if they had a chance. They all said the usual.
Sure, I wouldn’t mind talking to Churchill, Patton, or someone like that, but most of all, I would love to talk again with my Mom and Dad. How I miss them, and they have been gone a while now.
So many things I would ask them, but never thought to.
