Joni Hoffman, Blanche AbramsonSo many people ask me how we come up with ideas for stories. The answer is simple. Everywhere. This month, I was especially inspired to include an article that would help our readers with aging parents who live outside Houston. I hope Dave Schafer's story will provide some much-needed support. Also, I would like to give a Happy Mother’s Day shoutout to my mom, aka Bubbe Blanche. I never thought of her as a “Zen mom” – see Andria Frankfort’s story on chilled-out mothers – in fact, quite the opposite. However, at age 84, she has survived so many life challenges, including the loss of a son who was born on Mother’s Day, breast cancer, now taking care of my aging dad and so much more. But not once has she let any of it keep her down. Her strength, resilience and hilarious sense of humor constantly amaze and entertain me. Thanks, Mom. [email protected]
