Dear Wendy - I'm printing your reply to send to Mom - it's not always easy
advice to live with or follow, but it sure makes sense. My Mom is a very
special lady - she has a very special way with people - a real down to earth
people person....She always said she wished for 3 things for her children,
Health, Happiness and a Sense of Humor - her philosophy always was that a sense
of humor can see you through even the toughest of times...she still receives
Mother's Day cards from boyfriends of ours from many many centuries ago - in
fact, most boyfriends at one point or another (I have 3 sisters)....loved our
mother more than us....she is truly a lovely lady and a very special person.
She and my Dad have those kind of marriages made in Heaven...after 52 years they
still hold hands, dance cheek to cheek, giggle and whisper to each other, and
just are a pleasure to watch. As a child, we all took this for granted... As
adults, we now know this just doesn't happen...anyway her advice has always been
very sound. She has the ability to be there if you need it, but steer clear of
meddling if not wanted. Her sons in law all love her dearly. Love. Cori.
