Mandi,
I loved the T-shirt story!
It's an honor to hear about your mother, Mandi.
Did you two have a favorite movie?
My mom took me to City Slickers the day our oldest was born. That movie had me in stitches because I had been so stressed for my wife (who was then in recovery from the C-Section). It was a great time with my mom at the movies.
There's a great movie by Albert Brooks called Mother. It drove me crazy the first time I saw it because of their constant bickering, but when I finally got it two days later, I went back and watched it again and saw the brilliance. They were being honest with how they felt and thought rather than "protecting" their true feelings and emotions. Great movie.

John,I would love to share some things about my Mom. Thank you for asking, it makes me feel good for her to be thought of and remembered.We loved going to movies together, and Mom also loved to sing. She would often "burst" into song, she had a lovely voice. Her favorite thing to wear was extra long white t-shirts, and it would be my special assignment to hunt far and wide to find the exact kind she liked. We would laugh about the lengths I would go to find her Tall, XL, extra-long, crew neck men's t-shirts. They would hang down below her knees because Mom was not very tall...The memories go on and on....they are bittersweet, but I thank God for them.Thank you again for asking about her.God Bless,Mandi
