Ambushed by a Book

There I was, minding my own business, reading Dave Barry Turns 40, laughing and relating to much of it, when he throws in this completely serious stuff about his aging mother. I was flabbergasted! Here's some advice for you if you're younger than me: no matter how good you are to her, when your mother dies, you are going to feel guilty. To those of us who had our moments, our selfish moments we'd like to be able to forget: sorry. You're not going to escape the guilt or regret, and you're going to have to learn how to live with it.
