Doris was the mother of my childhood friend, Roger. When Roger died, I drew closer to Doris and, every year on Roger`s birthday, I would call her just to check in. Roger was a big part of my teenage years and I have indelible memories with him. He was so lucky to have had Doris as a mother who took such good care of him. I don´t know who I will call on the phone now every August 23
