...Four boys she'd had, and she never gave a thought to what happened when they got behind the wheel; ah, but the girl...what can I say?    This is a story about how mothers stay mothers forever, no matter how old their children get, how far those children have traveled, or how capable those children might have proven to be in taking care of themselves over the years. It's a brief story of my dear sainted mother, Lillian E. Thompson (1926-2002), who managed the Poplar Bluff city bus company for years until her retirement in 1996. It's a tale that illustrates how that "lioness instinct" never dies---at least if you have a child you consider something of an egghead with little in

Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11th, and that leaves sons, daughters, and grandchildren plenty of time to plan a loving salute to moms everywhere! The really swell thing is that when you give yourself a little time to plan, you don't have to rush to the smell-good section of the nearest five-and-dime before church that Sunday, in the hope of seizing onto whatever little cheesy French knock-off doesn't scream, "TOTAL ABSENCE OF CLASS OVER HERE!!!"

"You can't engage anybody in battle who doesn't do the same things you do...It's like a boxing match, where your opponent gets to kick. It's impossible to survive, let alone win." ---David Kelley In addition to life-threatening blood loss, Kelley had sustained an ugly hodge-podge of injuries of the sort consistent with a bomb attack: permanent nerve and tendon damage (in both legs); an injured internal organ (his liver); and significant shrapnel to the head, arms, and chest.

The incident, however, did not end with the bombing of Kelley's truck. "We were [then] engaged by small-arms fire," recalls Kelley. "Our gunners were shooting back." "The thing is, we'd been out on patrol, and we were actually going back to refit," says Kelley, regarding his platoon leader's fateful decision to order "one last sweep" of the major supply route they'd been inspecting that day. "We were going back to get more fuel, more water...We were actually going to make it back in time for a hot meal---something that was only possible maybe three times a month!"
