Today would have been my mother Mary's 107th birthday if she were alive today. The photograph on the left was taken in front of her condo in Stuart, Florida, a place she really loved. She and my father Nelson moved there from Chicago back in 1976, and after he passed away, she continued to live there for almost 30 years. She had more friends down there than at any other time in her life, and even hurricanes didn't faze her. In her later years, she was hard of hearing, and slept soundly through those storms without hearing any of the howling winds outside. All for the best, I now realize. Happy Birthday Mother!
