He left her with absolutely nothing but debt. Lots of debt. But she managed very well and always wanted to pay her way when she would come to California to stay a few days or a month. We never let her pay for anything, but after reading this, I think maybe I should have allowed her to gift us with her generous spirit. Great blog, Dee!!

I know for a fact that I would not have been able to go to college at Texas A&M if it were not for my Moms generosity. I know that alot of my education was paid for by my Mom's inheritance from her parents. My Dad paid for some of it but he did not want me to go away to college (he wanted me to go to a local college) so he tried to use money to get me to stay at home! I read a joke the other day that reflects my feelings about holding onto your money.....This lawyer gets to Heaven and he is carrying a heavy suitcase. Saint Peter asks him if what is in the suitcase is that important to him and he says "O Yes!" and opens it up to show it is filled with gold bars. St. Peter looks at him and says "You brought pavement?" Might as well enjoy it now, it ain't gonna do you no good later! Your Mom sounds like a very special lady, not unlike my own sweet Mama.

That was better than a "Hallmark" moment...it was priceless. I can hardly wait to find out what you have up your sleeve in two weeks. Hope you are geeling better each day. Janice Dee,

What a great story and what a wonderful mom you have. That was better than a “Hallmark” moment…it was priceless.

I can hardly wait to find out what you have up your sleeve in two weeks.

Hope you are geeling better each day.
