Thomas L. Friedman on Twitter: "Here's a story from The New York Times that I thought you'd find interesting: Much of the outlook that infuses my own writings was bred into me from my mom, who believed that even if pessimists were usually right, optimists were behind great changes. https://t.co/PHw8EbgOnd"

  My Dad taught me the way the world was; my Mom the way it could be. She's been gone 22 years. I miss her terribly; but keep her close. Thanks for this, Tom

  A touching, timely and heartfelt tribute. Isn't it really the mothers that make the world go round? Thank you for remembering that.

  Hi Thomas, I envy the way you are able to write of your mother. I lost mine 5 years ago and enjoy when writers can draw those raw emotions out of me. Thanks, man.

  Tears. It’s been 31 years since my mom’s passing, she never got to meet my girls, age 29 and 28, or my third husband. So much of life has happened and yet she’s still part of who I am, and who my kids are. They’d better call me!

  We'd be lost without our own Mum's. My shining light & guiding star until flickering & dying at 95.
