A Letter To The Motherless On Mother's Day

Both Mom and Dad have been gone for some time. Miss them both. Here is Mom in 85 with what "had been" Gramps, then Dad's 54 Jag XK-120. Gramps had come putting home with this (he was a widower) on my 14th birthday, in 1962. He had paid about 1100 dollars for it. It was unrestored except had been painted this silver grey. After Dad died in '95, Mom sold it for 19K

This was taken in '85. Mom would have been about 61 here, and I'm 67 now. She was in much better health then than I am now.
