In her last 18 months of life as she struggled with cancer, I finally understood what my Mother was trying to teach me my entire life. The basic tenets of living a Christian life finally sank into my head. We never talked, but her lessons were planted subliminally in my mind, almost like an old time silent movie. This read includes biographical & historical facts, my Mother's 10th grade essay written in 1934, & a collection of the cleanest jokes ever!
