6. Hey Bobbie,

You should check out this post Indigo wrote in the John Edwards thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5908505#5918025

I'll repost part of what she said here because it's such a beautiful tribute to her mother.

***
It seemed to hurt her down to her soul to see all the injustice in the world, as if she carried all that weight on her shoulders. She taught my brothers & me never to turn our backs on injustice, never to look away, always to do something, anything, to try to change things for the better.

One of my earliest memories of her was going downtown and seeing an elderly woman without a coat. It was winter and snowing. She took off her coat and gave it to the woman. When I said, "Mama, you'll be cold!", she answered, "I'll be warm when we get home. This lady doesn't have a home. She needs this coat." I've always remembered those words, words that she lived by, words that she guided my brothers and me with throughout our lives.

Before she passed away, she told us: "I know that you're going to miss me when I'm gone. Shed your tears, then open the door and look outside; there's a whole world that needs your attention, a whole world that needs fixing. Do whatever you can, in any way that you can, whenever you can. So many people need you desperately." We live by those words. I sincerely hope that you all do, too.

Much love and thanks to all,

Indigo

7. YEs, that is the legacy she left us. I've asked people to do just the little part of it... the call

the calling and emailing, yet I get maybe a very few responses to that.

People want to say "RIP", but they don't really want to do even the little bit she asked.

So it goes....
