Listening to long time coming -- and crying
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 12:48 AM by sjdnb
for my mother who took me along to walk with Fr Groppi and on many more such causes -- and, while many of our neighbors/community/family members disavowed my mom - she never acted as if she even noticed. She made me who I am today and whom I've taught her grandchildren to be -- even if she did not live to meet even one of them - they carry on her values.

It's hard for me that she can't be here to share this moment with us. It would have made her so happy.

1. Do you mean "A Change is Gonna Come?"
I was deeply moved by it myself.

BTW I don't think your mom has missed a minute. Sounds like she's right there with you.

So happy for us all.
