For many years, I was bewildered by that sentiment, but I'm almost 40 now, and I get it.<br />A wagon train of tears can't do justice to the loss of a good mother. And nothing I can say amounts to a hill of beans in the face of such grief. But a beautifully written tribute means a lot to a fellow eager reader. I'm bawling at my desk, my dear, and hope I can get it together before somebody walks in. If not, the hell with it!
