You are one lucky guy Terry, and your mum is a lucky lady for she got a loving son in you. My mom passed-away in her sleep a day before New Year´s Eve in 2015. She was very strict to me because I am the only girl ( with 5 brothers) in the family. She was the one who taught me to be patient and strong for she lost her mother at the age of 13. She acted mum to her 5 siblings and that alone was one of the great achievements in her life. Mothers are most caring and loving and my mum was one of them. All mothers are heroes in this world!
