One of my fondest memories of my Mother's love is the way she loved her children unconditionally. She treated the same but differently, if you know what I mean...She did have a favorite child and that was her son Jody!!! Jody, never did any wrong and if he did, she would find a way to make it right! Jody, Jody, Jodyyyy!!!!
She also had a heck of a smile, a beautiful smile. I loved watching my Mom and Dad dancing. When my father would sing "One in a Million", by Larry Graham, to her, her face would light up and glow! She definitely was that woman!
