I hope you don't mind, but I checked out your profile and spotted what job you do, and can I just say how awesome that is. You're a fantastic person for doing that.

Wow, I deeply appreciate you saying so. Thank you for being a good person, and rock on with your bad self. You have made my day, and I know you can do the same for others!

Also, and I know this is a old post so no worries if no one else sees this. But I have to memorialize this song as my second favorite James Taylor song. My mother's friend made a cool wall hanger for her with the lyrics, and I still have it hanging on my wall 50+ years later. My mom and her are still friends, and at some point I'm going to bring this sucker out and have a cry-fest with them.

Edit: words are hard

That is lovely. You and your mum and her friend rock. Have a great day. Every day. It sounds like your mum is a fantastic person and passed that on to you.
