Thoughts about my dearest mother.

I love mother very much. She is my role model. When she was there I never thought about too much about her. But now my dearest mother is no more. She left us this month. I remember how she admonished us when I was young. She always thinks about others, and never bothered about any thing.

She never asked anything from me. I still feel very sorry that I could not provide her anything when she was very much needed some help in her old age.

To remind the judges of this law, the Queen ordered that each of them when in the House of Lords should sit on a cushion or sack stuffed with wool. Hence originates the name woolsack.
