Well said.
Your mother sounds like a sister to mine - appreciated most after a time of reflection.

Re: jimmy
i have always heard that if you want to know what kind of husband a man will make, take note of how he treats his mother. must be true.

Actually, this is how I feel sometimes about my late father. He was a bastard at times, but he was also always there for me, no matter what! I was always close to my mother, and although she lives a thousand miles away, I call her at least once a week to say Hi! and chat. When we're very young, we didn't always appreciate our parents. But as we age, we get a better understanding of what they went through in raising us, and I do everything I can for my mother now to show how much I love her and to thank her for all she's done for me throughout the years . . .

Well most of our mothers had a pretty hard time, she knew what you would come up against as you absorbed the fickleness of nature. Folk were pretty secretive even in your mother's time, I suspect she sometimes had a job to put into words the blunt warning that should be given to every daughter.Not as though they will give a damn.

Isn't it amazing how the older we get, the smarter our mothers become? I also miss my mom. I like your line about her not being lovable, yet you loved her.
