Mothers are made of strong stuff and somehow most of them find a way. Thanks for visiting Kayode.

War is never kind. I don't believe sad begins to describe the suffering of a mother who loses her son to combat... I've witnessed it at my friend's funeral. It's great that you wrote this!

The last line was a play on the title, but I can see how it works your way as well.
