Every year my good friend Becky sends me a Mother’s Day card with pictures of her three sons who were a major part of my healing process when my mother passed in 2012. My Mother’s Day card this week shows handsome teenagers who still make me smile when I see them.

Pretty and I bought a house in Montgomery, Texas, in 2010; and I lived there off and on from 2010 – 2014. Pretty’s job in South Carolina made her visits to Texas less frequent than we had hoped so I was grateful for the Fabulous Huss Brothers (and my other neighbors on Worsham Street) who entertained me when they ran past the two houses down Worsham Street from their house to ours for visits. They brought joy with them.

Now that I’m 80 years old I find myself brimming with advice for my readers in cyberspace: in a world dominated by useless noises from every direction, take time to talk to children before we teach them to filter their thoughts.

Happy Mother’s Day to every mother on the planet – we all owe you.

Onward.
