Darren, let me just say that this is truly touching. I have lived the life of a single mom and a married mom and the fact that you recognize and can communicate what goes into it on a personal level is uniquely beautiful. What a mom needs most is rest, especially the single moms and when the kids fly the coop, that's what most women look forward to. I love the title Rediscovering Julie. Your mom is very lucky to have a son with such a talent that it allows this generous creation in her honor.
I've not been here much since you started this project but I'm really impressed with how quickly and skillfully you put it together.
