Rich Continued from A5 traveled 49 miles to Gaines ville, Georgia, to get a job in a hosiery mill for 18 cents an hour and make a better future. Think how brave that was. She was cloistered in the piney woods where people still spoke the King’s English. What little they knew of the outside world came from the weekly edition of the Dahlonega Nugget and through a bat tery-operated radio. Those mountains were still several years away from having electricity. What a scary feeling it must have been. But she was brave and de termined. She never looked back. So, it was no big deal to my Mama what her little girl was doing. She never thought twice. And only once was she scared for me. It was August 16, 1987 We had run a NASCAR cup race at Michigan International Speedway. When the race ended, I sped to the airport to catch the last flight to Indy. Daddy never missed the 11 o’clock news. That Sunday night as the news came on, Mama said to my Daddy, “I’m goin’ to bed.” At that moment, the news anchor announced that a plane had just exploded on take-off in Detroit and all aboard were believed killed. Mama sank back in her chair, her strength leaving her momentarily. “Oh, Ralph, Ronda’s there.” Daddy said nothing but fell into prayer. He opened his eyes shortly and said, “Everything’s okay. The Lord told me she’s fine.” My plane had left 30 minutes earlier. When I moved to D.C., Mama said, “I have only one piece of advice and it’s the same advice my Daddy gave me when I left home.” She looked me squarely in the eyes. “Forget not to assemble thyself in the House of the Lord.” So there you have it. With advice like that, a Mama is not going to do much worrying. RondaRich is the best-sell ing author ofWhat Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should).
