Mothers are stubborn, mothers stick with it, mothers stay with something until the cows come home. Mothers are persistent, mothers are consistent ... I think I said it best at the ...read more

You would think that faithfulness would always be positive, but the fact is, every virtue can be a vice if it is linked to ...read more
