I had a great mother who tried to raise me right but disagreed with me often when I was a teenager. I would tease her if she suspected I had a few drinks when I came home from the Saturday Night Dance and the time I got expelled from High School for protesting the school dress code after I won my election to the Student Counsel. My father supported me in my protest, but my poor mother was embarrassed in the community that her son was expelled and it became the boiling issue in our home. My wise father soon realized his life at home was not going well when my mother refused to wash his clothes or uniform until I cut my hair and did not wear jeans or boots to school. I loved her dearly and realized the anger and embarrassment caused by me and my father’s support and I went back to school. Just thought I would mention a few of my teenage memories of my mother on Mother’s Day. She passed away in 2020 she was 93 years old.
