Our mothers were both ahead of their times. My father was a chef, prepared most of the meals in our home and was not much interested in household finances. My mother, on the other hand, read extensively and learned a lot about investments and other aspects of life typically addressed by the male population. She also fought the doctors who insisted I should have my tonsils removed when there was nothing wrong with them. I still think it was a wise decision. I rarely have head colds which I attribute to my tonsils being the filter for those germs. Thanks for reminding me how great my mother was!

I too regret my teen years when I didn’t allow myself to see my mother for who she really was. It was a bad interval that eventually passed to much better times and a mutual understanding on both our parts.

As a child and later as a young teen, my mother and I did not get along well. It wasn’t until I was 19 that she and I were able to talk to each other. When she died a few years later my dad told me about the woman he married. She too was a rebel in her youth. If someone told her “No, as a woman you can’t do that”, she just became even more determined to do it – and she did, she learned to fly airplanes and became the first woman link trainer (flight simulators)for what would later become the Air Force during WWII. I will always miss her and regret that we did not have more good times together.
