My 86-year-old mother called today to inform me that the locks on her dwelling of forty plus years have been changed. She asked, "what is going to happen to my things still in the house?" I said that they now belonged to the person who now owns the house. Her reply, "they stole my things." My response, "they stole your house."
"I made a mistake when I signed over the house," mom said. I asked, "didn't you know that when you do somethings in secret that it may be your first clue that it is not the right thing to do?" Her reply, "I made a very,very big mistake!"
Yes Mom, I am truly very sorry.
