I just read this Vicky.

Clearly, in the future you'll have to refrain from saying "I'm not a Writer" because I love to read and the best Authors don't tell stories, they paint what I and Zora Neale Hurston refer to as "word pictres" and you definitely just painted one.

I could see your mother clear as day, even the gestures you might see as she doled out the loving advice.

Beautiful and inspiring!
