from the few things you have written about your mother, you can tell you love her a bunch! I would give anything if my mother could have lived that long! And the thought of how well she is at her age, that's what I hope to be like if I should live so long! I think it's great that you go take her out to lunch and everything! Does your mother live in the same town as you do? How far away from her will you be when you move to Rosecommon?
You did what you had to do growing up! You turned out to be a good guy, and that's the bottom line.
I didn't realize it when I was growing up, but looking back now, I had it pretty good!
If I'm to nosey, just tell me! lol
