The mom that i talk about is my dads' second wife, my bith mother died when i was about 12 years old and had been pretty sick most of the time. I had lived with older sisters and other family alot of the time, and there is alot of inter-marrage in the family so i had a taste of all, and mom is one of the greatest ladies i know, very close with her. My older sisters never felt that my father should have a life and hated the fact that i was close to them both and he was military, and you are right she is very wise and good lady/gypsy
