To my mom, who raised 11 children, and my dad was mean to her. And no matter how tough it got for Laura Stella Anderson, she never lost her humanity. She had so much of it that it dribbled onto me -- I didn't want it, but I found it, and this part has helped me find it," he said.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
