I'd say the same abt my own mother who is 82 and works full time in a meat packing factory. She may be a saint, and she is my (and not only) role model.

My mother died 6 years ago this month at 82. A psychologist. When I introduced her to another psychologist he said, "I went into this to deal with my own neuroses." She said, "That goes without saying." I write about her in my new book, coming out next month: "A Living Gospel."
