It should be called beautiful. What a wonderful post, and what a wonderful experience. How many mothers worked so hard through hard times, and still managed to instill in their children a sense of right and wrong, and a great sense of kindness toward others, all others. I believe you when you talk about doing the right thing even though it is often harder, and not so popular. Thank you so much for your post.lil Glucksternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288522126331817172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-81546289367719179462011-08-22T10:13:17.990-04:002011-08-22T10:13:17.990-04:00Thanks so much Maggie.

I am not surprised by your characterization of "Big Evelyn"--she produced a wonderful daughter in you so she must have been fantastic.

...Thanks Maria. She was indeed a wonderful woman. <br /><br />Reminds me of the Mark Twain quote, "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."<br /><br />I think it applies to all parents and their children :-)<br /><br />MarianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-24323604853169548882011-08-22T08:13:44.122-04:002011-08-22T08:13:44.122-04:00Marian,
