my mother's soulmate

...

My mother is 82. She suffers from severe lower back pain most of the time. She lives at the end of a dirt road with about six other homes on it. Potholes happen. She goes out there with a shovel and fills them in. She's determined. You'd think one of those neighbors would get the idea that maybe leaving an 82-year-old maniac to road maintenance is a little too slovenly of them, but you would be wrong.
