Say what you will about your mother if you weren’t incubated you wouldn’t be here. I personally, had the worlds best mother. Raising four children under what she referred to as the ‘philosophys of John Lennon’, its a wonder none of us are in jail or touring with Phish. My mom,had her days being a bobby soxer and with people like Vic Damone and a little ahm moment with Gene Karupa.. anyway……after those days the sixties changed the world……and boom. Hippy mom.
I love her and I miss her and if I could be a quarter of the mom she was to me, I’m ahead of the lot.
