Mom Says It Best: Remember This In Times Of Difficulty

ACROSS AMERICA — No one — no one with authority, anyway — ever promised life would be free of obstacles.

But plenty of moms have promised their children they would get through difficulties if they remembered the encouragement she whispered in their ears.

Redondo Beach Patch reader Judy Koffroth considers this the best advice her mother ever gave her, and says she remembers it whenever she has any kind of difficulty:

“You can do this, you’re strong and you’re smart.”

Koffroth is among Patch readers sharing the best advice they ever got from their moms in our extended celebration of Mother’s Day. Come back to Across America Patch every day for more of these morsels of wisdom we can relate to and smile about as we think of our own moms.
