We have to have coffee and discuss our philosophy on parents and how they affect our lives.

BUT

Today is Mother's Day and I want to salute your Mom. As you have described, she had a hard life. But I constantly see a smile on her face. Love the picture of her with the pink hat. Looking sharp. And yes, you were your Mother's favorite. You would have had it no other way.

Have a great week.

What a nice tribute to your mom, Ron. I was my mom's favorite, too. I was an only child...so, it was me or the dog. I'm sure some days it was the dog, and I couldn't blame her. LOL!
Did you ever hear from Woody in Ohio? I realized he's been missing.

Vic,
My Mom had a wonderful smile. Yes, I was her favorite but she loved my brothers as well. She was very supportive to all three of us but being the first born, I was the Crown Prince.

John,
I wa an only child for a little over a year. When I was growing up I wanted to be the only child. My two best friend Stuart and Larry were only children. I envied them. However, as I matured I appreciated having two brothers even though we were never particularly close. Yes, I noticed that Woody has been missing. I'm concerned. Somewhere I have his real name. I was thinking of trying to contact him. I know he was having medical issues.

Lady Caer Morganna,
You're quite welcome. I was very fortunate to have such a wonderful mother. Some people don't. I can't imagine growing up without a loving mother like i had. Now my father, that's a whole different story.
