This made me tear up..we had a special mom; rockin, resplendent and residential Roz. She was a woman of words and deep thoughts, with a beautiful laugh who was always searching and growing. I miss her every day. Thanks for sharing your memories….. from your little sis.

It wasn't easy for women "doing your own thing" in post WWII suburbia... good for Roz for standing up for herself!

Lovely tribute to your Mom, Trules! So happy she got to see you triumph at USC! I bet it wasn’t the Chinese herbs.

Thanks, Els! Only a few readers can imagine that day at USC as you can. And I hope you’re right about the Chinese herbs.❤️❤️

I’m sure she would be be proud of you now. Sounds like you’re getting to her age and you’re in great shape.

Your words sound like a song I wrote and recorded last year as a tribute to mothers.

It’s true, Ted. I’m just one year younger than my mom when she had her fatal stroke. I think about it every day.

I just listened to your song on Spotify. Nice going. Damn those mothers, they never leave us!😇❤️

You’re getting a good dose of my writing this morning, Ted, my man. We should both be on the Pickleball court. Ha ha.
