At her viewing last night f saw something that opened my eyes. I cannot understand Why i did not see it before. 1. Looked at my Mother As she stood beside her mothers casket and i realized what a truly remarkable person my Mother is. Ever since 1 was a child i am 24 now my Mother has been a Tower of strength not Only for me., but for everyone whose life she has touched. She was 40 when i was born. Despite her age she has a always been the strongest person in be known. No matter what the Challenge she met it. Her life was not easy but i never heard her complain. She handled every catastrophe with dignity and had enough courage left Over to Supply Everyou around her. The one thing that stands out in my mind throughout the terrible ordeal of grandmas illness is something my Mother said to me after grandma slipped into a stale of unconsciousness. She said a i done to believe i Ever told my Mother a thank you for All the wonderful things she did for at that moment it occurred to me that i was guilty of the same thing. I vowed then and there that i would not make the mistake of waiting too Long. To going to Tell her the very next time we Are alone together. I Hope this letter is Good enough to publish because a lot of daughters and sons need to see it. Please fix it up and print it. A a Rockford ill Reader dear Reader. Your letter did no to need fixing up. It was Beautiful. And Here it is a on mothers Day. If you can t find the right words just hand your Mother this column. It says it All. Dear Ann Landers you recently printed a letter about what is wrong with menus clothes. Will you please give us women equal time a retailers foolishly ignore the generation of ladies who Are 45 to 60 years old and then wonder Why sales Are Down. In a one of these women and i can Tell you our children Are grown and our Homes Are paid for. We have Money to spend on clothes but there is nothing to buy. All the dresses Are designed for women who Are 6 feet tall and weigh 109 Short Short skirts Are an abomination. If a woman a legs Arentt perfect she looks ridiculous. Knees Are the ugliest part of the female Anatomy Why put them on display give us Plain lines simple clothes pastel colors and Long zippers in the Back. When we grew up the ironing Board was considered a member of the family. Today nobody Irons anything. Give us acrylics please,.we hate Linen that wrinkles. Those awful Cotton sweaters take three Days to dry today a woman works in a temperature controlled office. She does not spend Summers on the French Riviera or Winters on the ski slopes. She needs comfortable practical Good looking clothes and a Hemline that will hot violate the City ordinance when she sits Down. A let s hear it for a Little sanity in ladies apparel.
