*Hugs* She sounds like a remarkable woman

Aw, Doc... she was a pain in the ass. But she was my pain in the ass.

I was just thinking, Doc, that I probably sounded kinda harsh in my reply. I think, though, that you've probably read "The Razor's Edge" by W. Somerset Maugham.

She was a remarkable woman, in truth. Raising 4 boys, coming from the backhills of Indiana, when there was still moonshinin' being done, being a cataleptic and pretty darn smart and still teaching her sons to laugh and sing.

Yep... my mom was a wonder, for sure and true.
Thanks, Doc. You're a wonder, too.
