In memory of my mother who died August 14, 2006. She was a mother, best friend, and sister all wrapped up into one and i miss her more than anyone could know. She was the best mother i could have ever asked for. I have never met another person that was filled with as much kindness and generosity as her. She was the only person in this world that ever understood me entirely and who never judged me or anybody else for that matter. She was an accomplished artist who could paint and draw as well as being a musical artist who could play instruments. She wrote poetry which was published, and also was a graduate of a business college. Not only did she work for years as a secretary, but she was a wonderful mother who mothered 4 children. I am writing this memoir here for the reason that she knew i played this game, and instead of thinking i was 'insane' for playing like so many other people, she showed interest in it and tried to understand what it was all about.
