In Fairness to my Mother

Some corrections regarding recent posts (all dated April 2009:)

#1 Mom did everything possible to save her tooth, notwithstanding the cost. I hadn't known that.

#2 Mom generally fed us much better than I've seen my sister feed her kids. What I said about us eating that way when we were kids was in reference to occasional simple meals designed to get us through a few hours between substantial meals.

#3 Mom had a response to the letter I published. We discussed it and I think we both learned something.
