Loved this! Your Mom seems to be a very strong and motivated lady. Bless her heart.
My current landlord, an old grizzled biker, is the same.
Twenty years ago he found himself in prison, for the third time, addicted to heroin and suicidal. The nurse in his prison took a liking to him, got him into religion, helped him get paroled and married him the day he got out.
They're a great couple, still 100% in love, and he's the most honest, generous and genuine person I know.
I have much respect for anyone who turns their life around for the better like that.
Will kills it again. I get warm and fuzzy reading Will’s latest ramblings likely due to our common experiences (White Horse/ Murphy’s patrons, Birds on the Bat fans, Big 12, high school version, conference graduates, Monical’s lovers). It’s high time for a couple of miles on I-57 through Mattoon dedicated the the Leitch clan. Keep it coming Will.
Truly inspiring story about your mom. Women seem able to accomplish so much more than men - I respect the hell out of that, as I lounge on the couch, watching football, as my wife and daughter scurry about, always on the move.
Wow, Will, an amazing and inspirational story!
I too love people who push themselves to be more, do more, learn more, experience more. Your mom is inspiring. Thank you for sharing her great story.
So much inspiration in this piece Will. Thank you for sharing this about your mother. ❤️
Will, Wonderfully written story about an amazing nurse and an even better person. My only criticism is that you undersold her value to SBL.

Fantastic. (That's also quite a full-service nurse!)
Great one Will. Almost inspired me to get off the couch and do something with my life. 😀
Plenty of time!
