And I would not be so very much surprised if the house in heaven had a real green lamp-post after all. ↗

My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time. ↗
