May I tell a funny story about my mom?

A friend and I wanted to see the new A Star is Born when it came out. Mom said, Can I go too? She was 96 and using a walker. On the way to theater my friend from the backseat says, Now Mrs. Wardlow, I just want to warn you...there will probably be alot of swearing in the movie, you know, it's about musicians and could get bad. After the movie my friend and I raved about it, Want to see it again next week? Mom said, Want to know what I thought? It was too fucking loud!
Mom passed on January 15 at 100.

She sounds like a real character. You must miss her terribly. Consider this a hug from afar. Moms are a mixed bag, but, we ALWAYS know what we have lost when they leave us.

Thanks again for the little anecdote. Starts many of us off with a smile and a tear today.
