I really appreciate your reply RD, and for taking the time to think about it all.

I was so impressed by your remembrance of your mother's wisdom and advice to you (as a seven-year-old) that I'd like to use an excerpt from your 'About' article for a new story that I'm planning to write about The Love of God.

If you will allow me to do that (with credits and acknowledgements to you and your mother as being the source of my inspiration), I would love to do it.

So, let me know if you are comfortable with this and I will go ahead with a new article.
