I've been under the weather for the last few days so my brain has been a bit foggy. Yesterday I was drafting a very complex Separation Agreement and had to incorporate a clause I had never encountered in my 20+ years in law. I dug through my personal sample library, the docs my boss has in our system, my books, case law, statutes...everywhere I could think of looking for just the right language to convey our client's wishes while complying with the law. After a few hours of searching I came up empty. So I ended up just staring at the screen wishing I could talk with my Mom about this - we used to write by collaboration. Then I just started typing - not thinking, just typing. And in one attempt came up with the exact language needed. The only changes my boss made to this portion of my draft was having me combine two sentences and change the layout of the paragraphs to fit her writing style not my Mom's.

I know that was from my Mom. She was one heck of an attorney and kept her law license active until she died - I've got her actual license document here in my home office. I guess she's still "practicing."

How impressive Miss S...I'm sure your mom is right there when you need her most of the time. That is a hard bond to break a mother and child i would think Glad she came through for you :::smiles:::A lot of people In my opinion wouldn't have had the trust to let their fingers move with out a specific direction, ya know...but you had faith in her and that i so enjoy reading about, a bond that strong.

way to go on the good work !
