Mom doesn’t know
exactly who the father is.  

No, she can’t tell you that.  

What she does know
is that she’s going to love
this skinny bag of bones
with all her heart.  

She’s going to see
that this kid
gets a good life.

A much better one
than she’s had.

Bobby

This one's about my Mom, so no ugly remarks.

I know of three of women who didn't let the guy know, because they only wanted the baby.  I can understand.  After seeing the dating scene I can totally understand.

Thanks dear Juju,

For your kind understanding.  Mom was a jewel.  Anything I am, I owe entirely to her.

I'm a moma's boy.

Love Bobby

There's nothing stronger than a mother's love....Nothing on the face of the earth. My mother and father split up when I was only six.

You can always rely on a mother's love Bobby.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

Your mom rocks.

Thanks Eric,

That must have been hard for you.  You got to know your father.

Luckily, I never met my father designate until I was ten.  I never knew the guy.

Thanks Bill,

Yes, she was a great Mom.

Unfortunately, she died 1983, so you won't get to meet her.

Thanks for the kind words on Mom.
