The statement from 'Toronto' was apparently misguided. No one told you to eat 2 bananas every day for a week. Learn to read, sweet cheeks! I've never tried the 'cure' for headaches, but it does sound a little weird. I don't think I'll be trying it any time soon. But I would like to see the end of testimonies about cure all seers and gurus in this column. Just don't belong here!

Will you be able to tell me the year this was printed? Dear Ann Landers: Will you please print this letter on Mother’s Day? It would mean a lot to me. I think it might also mean a lot to others who feel as I do but don’t know how to put it into words. I’m having trouble myself because I’m not much of a writer, but I’ll do my best and pray that it’s good enough, it’s to my mother. Dear Mom, I wish I could spend Mother’s Day with you but I can’t, so I’m writing a letter and hope you read it in Ann Landers column. Mom, I love you so much. So many things that I didn’t understand when I was young, I understand now. I didn’t know how hurt you were until I was hurt the same way by my own children. I didn’t realize how lonely you were until I was lonely. I didn’t know how tough it was when you were having trouble with dad and us kids. Now I know. I didn’t have any idea how hard you worked and the burdens your carried until I traveled that road myself. I didn’t know how many times I could have made you happy by just saying, “I love you, Mom.” But now I know what it would mean to hear it from my children. I didn’t know how completely a mother can love her children until I grew up and had my own. It took me all my life to learn what a mother is. I wish there were some way I could let you know how much I appreciate everything you did and everything you are. Thank you, Mom, for the years of devotion and unselfishness, your efforts to teach us by example and help us to grow up straight and strong. You are the greatest. Anonymous
