Welcome Dee Dee. Seems like it took so long for this moment to arrive.

I lost my mom five years ago in March. What I liked most about reading your book is that it gave me time to reminisce about childhood events that I hadn't thought about i years. While reading your letters, my memory was jolted into remembering similar activities/stories from my childhood. I recognized so many similarities between our moms that I believe were generational issues.

Something you mentioned a few times was how your mom liked to watch the soaps. So did my mom. She watched Days of Our Lives. I never watched a single episode because I chose to be outside, but two of my sisters got hooked when they were teens.

Anyone still watch the soaps their moms watched?
