Yes, my husband really liked it. His reaction was exactly what I was hoping for. He cried. They were very close. My husband treasured his mother. His mom was a very special woman. She had 19 children. All but 2 are alive still today. My husband is number 13. It's hard to believe that any woman can have than many children, but she did. So, it was my pleasure to do that for my husband. I just wish she was alive to see it.
