“She made Christmas magical. 6 kids was a lot to buy for and she got each of us something we liked. Also let me wrap the others’ gifts while she worked on the dinner preparations. I never did figure out where she hid mine. (Smart lady knew I would peek) Gosh, I miss that dear woman.”

When I think of my mother, I remember how strong she was, both physically and mentally. She raised an autistic daughter, my sister, in an era that did not have nearly as many resources as mothers do now. I remember how my mother struggled with my sister as they both got older. Now that our mother is gone, I am now my sister’s guardian.
