You carry the memories, which is so important, and I'm sure your children and grandchildren know all about her specialness, which they can carry on with them, too.<br />And I won't blame your sense of humor on your mother, who, I'm sure, would have been delighted at it.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-60766064392484616752020-05-10T10:07:57.541-04:002020-05-10T10:07:57.541-04:00My mother is 89 and still lives alone.

She has had heart surgery and her back provides constant pain. To make matters worse her birthday was May 4. Hopefully I can see her soon.

But, it shall not be. Some of my family will social distance with her on her long front porch, but it won't be for long since it's frigid there. <br />Thanks for telling us about your mom, Jeff, and helping us understand how you became the man you are.
