Whenever I would say that I hated someone, my mother would correct me and comment, "You can dislike someone as much as you want, but you should never hate them."

My adult life has been so positively impacted because I believe that to the core of my soul, and I have taught that to my own children. 

What a wise, patient and kind woman! 

I think mom would have loved to see us grow up; in fact, I think she has been with us all along.

I named my daughter after mom and Grandma got some time with her when she was very little.
