The Verbal Commute MOM...We love you!
Santa Rosa, CA. ~ Even though Mother’s Day publicly is shown to be celebrated one day a year, I am calling every day Mother’s Day. Every day, mom’s are busy with one
thing
or another, with kids, family and life in gen- eral. T ey have moth- ers and their mothers had mothers and their children one day to will be mothers, if they are girls of course.

Aſt er I leſt to live on my own at 16-1/2 to 17 years of age, she did everything she could to help. Sometimes with things I needed that I could not aff ord. I especially like paper, for drawing. She al- ways encouraged art and keeping my dream alive. I loved to cook to. She always allowed me to use the kitchen when I was very young and, taught me how to safely cut with knives. When I moved out, gave me utensils to cook with. It was very appreciated!
though I had a little brother. He ended up moving away with my dad. Someone had to stay home and help mom where dad had leſt off . It was me. T ere were some tough times for a while, some emotional, some men-
