Bones and his brother remember Mom on Saint Valentine’s Day. She does the best she can to take care of them. She appreciates that, her life’s never been a bed of roses, so they give her some. Bobby |

A kind thought from good men Bobby. Everyone should take the time to remember their moms. Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told. |

Yo Suncleaver, You are so correct. My mother has been dead for twenty-five years. I'll never forget the last words she spoke to me when she was dying. She took my hand, and looked me in the eye and said. "You're a beautiful man." It made this tough guy break down and cry. Bobby |

Happy Valentine's Day to all the moms who hold so much upon their strong shoulders, and blessed are the moms who've gone on to a better place. Thank you, Bobby, art |

You are right. I also like to say thank you to my mother. I know she can hear me. Nice write The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

How nice that the boys realize how hard Mom works to look after them in difficult circumstances. Roses must have been such a delight for her. Eric |

For a long time, I buried my head in the sand every year and hoped Valentine's Day would hurry and be gone. *S* But I finally realized that it, like most of life, isn't about having a lover... it's about love and loving and letting those you love know they matter. *S* Bones and his brother gave the perfect valentine. *S* Well done! *S* |
