Dear Ann Landers,
'm a widow who is trying to raise a boy alone. Gerald's father died when the boy was six years old. He is now thirteen, and believe me, Ann, I've had my hands full. I am active in our church auxiliary and I hold a state office. I must go to meetings every Tuesday night. There are three very nice young girls in the neighborhood I call on to sit with Gerald. The little redheaded girl is sixteen. The other two girls are fifteen. Last night, Gerald asked me who I had called to sit with him and I told him Gracie. (She is one of the fifteen-year-olds.) He said, "I'd rather have the redhead." This made me stop and consider something that never crossed my mind before. Please read between the lines and tell me what you think.-Concerned Mother

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
