Mom away from Mom

My friendship with Mary Joy - who befriended this new kid in town in the 9th grade - is one of the most important relationships I've ever had. And part of that was that I also had Mrs. Moriarty as my Mom away from Mom. I was lucky to have 2 Moms during the teen years - my own Mom and Mrs. Moriarty. She always welcomed me into her home lovingly and generously. Lovingly and generously was the way, I believe, she did everything. 

One summer during college I came home to a house full of Chicken Pox. Since I had 2 jobs lined up for that precious 10 weeks of making money, Mrs. M. let me live in her home until the pox left our home so I wouldn't get sick. It really was a wonderful lifesaver!

As anyone knows, the years of adolesense and early adulthood are rather tumultuous times - and Mrs. M. was a voice of calm and comfort and love.

Thank you, Mom Moriarty - you will always live fondly in the memories of all who know you.
