Mother Quote by Pamela Sommers
““my mother always used to tell my sister and I : “Look down, and watch where you are walking.” She didn’t want us to fall and hurt ourselves or step on any dog mess. Looking back, I can see how she was just being overprotective and caring in her own way, but as I grew older, I wish I were taught to look up and ahead more.””
