September 21 was my Mom’s birthday. She rarely reads my blog but for some reason I had the desire to write about her—even if she never saw it. I tried. I just couldn’t find the right words. I am, by no stretch of the imagination a good writer. My words were frumpy and inadequate. While trying to describe the person in my life who I most respect, that was unacceptable. I finally...
