My mother has been dead for ten years and she was a widow for nearly 40 years. Looking back down the years I have often wondered if she was a good role model. She was feisty and never bottled up her emotions, whereas I keep a lot of emotions bottled up. I don't have any daughters but I have 3 sons. I didn't have to worry too much about being a role model for them as they looked to their dad.
