I believe this story is very interesting and actually teaches the average Joe quite a bit. I like how you started it of describing what every child received, naturally, from their mother; but instead of ending it there and just telling us she was witty and intelligent you showed us as well which ads to the impact. A few of the quotes actually surprised me in how smart and well written they were and I will probably use them in every day life. The one I enjoyed the most was the one on sex, I had never really thought of it that way. Over all amazing story and keep up the great work.

    Dear Ben, thank you for the lovely review glorious stars. It means so much. I consider this a glimpse of her as I could've written volumes. I was overwhelmed with tears and had to wrap it up. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and took away some of her wise words. Sending you my best today, and blessings always,

What great memories of your mother. By the way you've organized them and the humour that you see in them, its clear you have inherited her wit and wicket sense of humour.
Thank you for sharing it (your wit) and your mother's witticisms.

This was a very nice memoriam for your mother which is well lent to her positive and quirky qualities without any negatives licks in absenting. Parents are so human to us only after they are gone.

June should have written a column with all of her sage advice. I found myself smiling and thinking of my own "June", whose name was Darlene, incidentally and she too would have loved your story. Well done- Sam

That was lovely, Sally. I miss my mum, too. I have missed her every single day since she died seven years ago. I loved all your mother's opinions, they were good ones, and should be adhered to! I enjoyed reading this, it just made me miss mine even more. That we will meet again, I have no doubt. I'm sure your mother is really proud of you, my friend. :)) Sandra xx
