I am sure you are so proud of her as you should be.<br />My Mom is almost 85 and lives alone with Alzeheimer's and she is much like your Mom always thinking of others and "smart as a whip" my Grandmother used to say.<br />I think we are very lucky to have such inspiring Moms. Love your love for your Mom.

She actually had a two part life....wife and mother to begin with and than social worker in the latter half. She found her niche in that world and did so much good.

I of course popped over to visit your blog and found it just so wonderful. There are and have been many remarkable women through the ages and I've always been proud to think my mum came under that category.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-19120297099931397432013-03-09T14:15:09.056+08:002013-03-09T14:15:09.056+08:00No wonder you are proud of her.

She very nearly died when she was hit by a car crossing the road near her home when in her early 70s (7 months in hospital) but even after that she started Beehive Industries which is still going well today. All the family are proud of her.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-34897086783187855652013-03-08T19:52:08.582+08:002013-03-08T19:52:08.582+08:00What an amazing woman Mimsie.
