Why does she rock?

She is in her seventies and has limitations on how much she can get out and about and cause trouble. We were pretty consistently introduced to strangers at holiday meals. For my mom, there was no excuse or reason why we shouldn’t invite them. We are all one humanity. With my mom, you start at 100 percent perfect and have to prove that wrong. You never have to start at zero and work your way up. All she has ever wanted for any of us is to be happy.
She isn’t as young and healthy as she used to be but clearly has a great sense of humor.
