Goodnight Irene Comments

Your title caught my attention immediately, because my Grandfather's favorite song was Good Night, Irene. He used to sing it to me when I was little because he liked it and I liked hearing him sing it. Your mother-in-law sounds like she was a fantastic person, you were blessed when she entered your life in more ways than just your wife. A very inspiring poem, I loved it! Thank you for sharing.

My grandmother suffered a similar plight. But Irene—marrying, then birthing and schooling seven children—GIRLS— (despite her physical challenge) , even has my grandmother beat. This one is “off the charts.” Irene is smiling. A phenomenal job, Joseph. At eighty seven, I’m so glad you’re yet with us to share of your wisdom and inspiration. Thank you much. PS: I, too, have written about my grandmother, and plan to post it when I get the chance.10+++++
