Jackie,

As I'm reading your Mom's life story--which was fascinating - especially considering the times when she was born--couldn't help but to think about my own mother, who much like yours was born ahead of her time. The word "can't" did not exist in her vocabulary either.

You are so lucky to have had such an amazing woman as a Mother. I truly enjoyed your post. You are such a talented writer.

God Bless you and your family.

Adriana
