29. I go through periods where I miss her terribly.

She was a pistol, and she kind of had a sixth sense.

She only liked two of my girlfriends over the years...my first girlfriend, and my wife.

She would size people up immediately, and form judgements about them.

I went to visit her in the nursing home once. As I was walking down the hall to her room, an elderly Italian woman grabbed my sleeve and stopped me in my tracks.

She scornfully said "Your mama, she no like me".
