miss you, Mom

[jbfam4]

My Mother was a woman libber before it became popular. Mom was a political junkie who turned C-Span on early in the morning and left it on all day. Back in 1992 when she was 74, she proudly wore a "Year of the women" t-shirt.

Mom worked tirelessly for women running for office in her small city in Illinois. When it became impossible for her to live alone I brought her out to California to live with us for the last two and half years of her life.

Every time Mom saw Senator Durbin on TV she would say:"That's MY senator." Mom died six years ago, but I can just hear her say with so much pride when President Obama is on TV....THAT'S MY PRESIDENT.

3. We should all salute the women who brought us through the

Depression with their ingenuity, WWII with their inner strength and determination and to equal rights for women because it was the correct thing to do.

These women endured many hardships, but they were proud, strong and protective.

I lost mine in `82 but feel she isn't far away.

4. as emotions were in high gear

I didn't intend for this to be a new post. I thought I was replying to n2doc's post about those who no longer have their Mothers.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, but I have since moved it to the right spot as a reply.
