A letter I wrote Mom in Aug 2014.... Dear Mom, Thank you for spending time with me last night. I was glad I was able to drive down from Hartford and spend dinner with you and Sharon. Riley sure has a good friend in you and Sharon and it is obvious you like him a lot as well..." I wrote a letter some time ago , just wanting to thank you for all that you have done for me through my 58 years and how much a difference you have made in many peoples lives, especially mine. Just the other day, I retold the story and events that led us to your door step and the gift that I received the day that you adopted us and became my only mother. You personified and embody the true definition of limitless love and depth of patience to raise all four of us and at what often may have seemed as significant odds, kept your sanity and embraced a simply life philosophy, "But there I go but by the grace of God" I was very lucky, blessed, to find a great woman and life partner in Linda. I see you in Linda. You were the role model, the personification, the complete mother that is dedicated to our family and our well being. I wanted the same for my children. You set the example, for a stay at home Mom, that saw and took on the tremendous challenge of raising children and put your nursing career and other interests as less important than children and husband. You have made the difference in all of our lives and you have earned the respect, the love, and the devotion that you so richly enjoy because you put us first in everything you do. I know that as our years grow shorter and become fewer and turn into months and weeks, that family is first in this life, but that God is first in all life's and that he blessed us with you. God knows the great sacrifices you have made and knows that he has even greater plans in the months ahead. I wanted to let you know again, even though I have said it many times ... I Love You Mom and Thank You for All you have done for me and our family. With great love, respect and thanks for all you have done, Your Son, Ron August 09 , 2014
