    I had no idea this blog existed! (To say that I am thrilled, as well as surprised, would be a gross understatement…) Besides upon seeing my mother’s (Barbara Campbell) face peering at me–and read the kind words spoken about her–I was also moved to tears while reading Cousin Herman’s recounting of Ma Lily. What an honor to be a son stemming from such careful mothers; what a responsibility to be a man in the shadow of such mighty women!
