I've Been Offered A Lot Of Things

Later In Life, The Memories I Have Of My Mother Are Of Constant Work Balanced With Caring For My Ailing Father.

Sometimes My Mother Had Difficulty Communicating With Me About Certain Topics.

[my Mother] Closed The School The Next Day [after A Visit From Castro's Soldiers], Because She Knew That The Purpose Of Education Was The Broadening And Opening Of Children's Minds. And She Couldn't Be A Party To The Systematic Closing Of Minds, Borders, Freedoms And Ideals.

The Sad Truth Is That Opportunity Doesn't Knock Twice.

There Are So Many Difficult Things We're Living Through In The World Today, So Many Horrible Events, But We Cannot Let Them Stop Us. No Matter What Happens, I Feel You Must Move Forward With Optimism And Not Get Totally Sideswiped.
