Happy Mother’s Day, especially to my
wife Susan and daughters Kari and Becky, who also are beautiful and wonderful mothers, giving Susan and me some terrific
grandsons. All 3 of these strong women have always
been great inspirations to me as a writer.
And, remembering today my own
mother Virginia, who died at the relatively young age of 60, but whose spirit and
enthusiasm for life continues to play an important part in my life and how I
look upon the world when writing about it.
“Be happy and be a friend, and your life will
always be full,” my mother used to say.
“Money does not measure success.
If your life is filled with friends, then you are rich.” My mother’s optimistic spirit, concern for
others, and hope for the future were, perhaps, the greatest gifts she gave to
me and to all whose lives she touched.
We receive so many gifts from our
mothers each and every day. The best
each of us can do in return is cherish those gifts and use them wisely.
