Not many "relate" so I'm grateful to those who do and appreciate them..
Being "brought up" by a mother who, by her own admission in her last days, hadn't appreciated me, I've been taught the value of appreciating others in that old, cliched, "school of hard knocks"

(The mother talked in cliches to an extreme extent, it seemed to me, yet many IRL "liked" her.
I just wish she had "liked" me
