There was a time - about sis months ago and Mama was in the hospital, and she was highly critical at the time. And as I arrived, there were many people in her hospital room trying to offer her moral support. Myself, my brother and sister, her good friend Robin and one or two others.
        Mama was hooked up to all kinds of wires, tubes and machines, checking breathing and heart and blood pressure. She was getting ablod transfusion in one arm and vitamin transfusion in the other arm. She had a catheder inserted in her and a nose tube for oxygen.
       As I tried to find a chair and position myself within earshot of her, I said "Well, mama, you sure are popular today!" She looked up at me and said proudly so that everyone would hear, "Well, Moog......you know, everyone loves a winner!"
