Virtuous Life of Mother

Mom was a person of indisputable integrity... teaching siblings the strict rules of equality. A voice of tender words to remember her by... a dazzling light invading my tenebrous sky. Mother was more glittering and worthier than any gold... with the purest faith and the wisdom of growing old. I was very blessed to have had such a loving, nurturing mother... her purity vanquished my vicissitude, and kept me from error. She adored jewels, but she loved me more than them... and she wore a long necklace of opulent elegance. I am very proud and glad to have inherited that spirit from the South... and reflecting on her virtuous life, it has given me strength and worth.

Congratulations Andrew, lovely tribute to your mum. Odd the things one can remember, like your mum's necklace. I never think of my Gran but I see her wearing an amber brooch. Well done... Margaret
