Your comment is just beautiful :)<br /><br />I like that how you chose your words Horhay. My mother was very hard working to make sure that I did not have the same life that she had and I think she succeeded.

I bet Amanda doesn't think out the humor... she just IS funny and it likely rubs off on her children!<br /><br />I can appreciate what you say here about respect, but I have definitely said ill words about and to my mother. Our relationship was anything but perfect and there are ways in which I feel she wronged her children. I can only guess that your mom... was more empathic?

All of these qualities have both very narrow and infinitesimally broad definitions and scopes of practice. Your last point of compassion I think sums up all of the other four, plus.
