In all the years we were together, my mother and I never disagreed. Sometimes you get to a point when you feel that your mother is pushing you in a certain way, and you get fed up and even rebel. I never had that with her. I know now as a mother myself that it was a great gift and privilege that she lived long and that I was able to take care of her and be with her when in her eighties she became weak.The fact that we never had an upsetting word between us is a source of great personal peace.

"I never talked to my mother about the incident, but it taught me profound lessons -- to question myself and assess my actions and then do what is right. My mother did not force her sense of justice and fairness on me -- after all, she could have hit my dirty feet with broom and said, 'Get the hell out of here.' But she didn't. She just let me carry on singing. Her contentment and composure inspired me when I was old enough to appreciate it. Whatever disappointments my mother had, and I am sure she had some, she kept them to herself, a trait I learned to admire as I grew older and, inevitably, accumulated my own."
