It's been almost six months since my mother died and she is
still everywhere. It's difficult to distill the wisdom of 91 years, but the
rules of life I learned from her are my constant companions. This is just a

here, she thought the same about those. You can't live successfully with
someone with whom you clash on basic values and beliefs. Or clothing.

your match. This came up as I agonized over someone or other so long ago I
can't remember the specifics. It's one of those aphorisms that comes back to me
