Peter, as you no doubt tried to do, you scared me (and about half pissed me off) with that title. Then I read the post...That was a pretty wicked trick to pull. Haha. Every Mother's Day that goes by I thank my mom and pray that she hears me. Thanks for sharing - Jim

I would not be a published author today if my mother hadn't encouraged my writing from elementary school onward. Sadly, she didn't live to see my successful career.

Hey Lev, sorry to know your mom's no longer with us. I don't know where I would be without my mom. Dreading the day she passes. Cheers to the memories, I'm sure your mom is proud of you. Mom's are the best. ❤️

25 years on, and she was very present to me during the pandemic, and this was the first essay I published about her recently: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/community/articles/my-mothers-secret-holocaust-memoirs
