Mine was not the most affectionate person growing up and I always got on her case for that in my teens. Then I saw her talk to the family of a dying relative when she was working in the Alzheimer wing of the Nursing Home. That woman was not my mother. How did she ever learn to be that good at making people accept the inevitalbe and quickly approaching death of their loved one? I learned that day that I had my dad to be the softie. He always told it like it should be. My mom took the harder position in our family of telling it the way it IS.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-59847235782042725802010-10-22T21:50:41.833-07:002010-10-22T21:50:41.833-07:00First time here, and I have to say I was pleasantl...First time here, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
