"There’s a bright side to everything". A phrase that immediately conjured up an image of my grandfather. Of that same generation, he carried an unfailing sense of gratitude and a positive attitude. Both remarkable and inspirational from a man who knew far more deprivation and hardship than people today could even imagine. Thanks for recollection of those stalwart folks who left such a legacy.
Thank you, Terry. I have great faith in you, your basic goodness, and your journalistic skill. Happy Heavenly Mother’s Day to your beautiful Mother. I was thinking about you and your Ma earlier today, wondering about the state of your hand and your melancholy, hoping both were healing. I was relieved to see your The Real Story email in my inbox. Do take care.
Thanks Britannicus. As it happens, I corrected it (after the email version had already gone out) thanks to another alert subscriber. I genuinely appreciate corrections. Cheers.
I should really try that. Good idea. I've tried before but speaking and writing are different things . . . would probably master it with practice though.
Your mother in that photo looks like she means it. Beautiful and determined. Methinks you are fortunate to have had her for your mother. Possibly you acquired your acumen and perseverance from her.

The built the world we inherited - 80 years of almost uninterrupted peace and prosperity.
Terry, your late mother must be the reason I think so highly of you. Women, like your late mother, have much to teach about real values.
Cheers!
Thanks buddy.
Tir Na Nog? Beautiful.
And a Happy Mothers Day to you as well. Even if our mothers have passed, we still carry them with us.
Thanks for these thoughts Terry, on Mother's Day.
You continue to be one of the most interesting and unpigeonholeable writers.
Thanks Bill.
I love your mother. They don't make them like that anymore. Seriously...
Actually, they do!

Small point, Terry, but young Prévost was a Chicago WHITE Sox fan.

Terry, dear God man, learn to use dictation software. Its easy and accurate. So instead of excuses you'll have productivity!

A great article Terry!
Terry, you keep reminding us about Cardinal Zen and Jimmy Lai. Keep doing that. It's a good reminder of how good we have it.
