My mom was such a fun person. <BR/><BR/>Evelyne,<BR/>It's hard to choose just a few points to write about someone when they're so multi-faceted. I left out so much, but it would have gone on and on! :)<BR/><BR/>Troy,<BR/>Which is why I miss her so much and it makes Mothers Day sometimes tough.<BR/><BR/>Jessica,<BR/>Thanks. I will stop by your blog! Yes, she was the queen of our house!<BR/><BR/>Barbie2be,<BR/>I've read NSM's blog as well. Hers was a wonderful tribute, too. <BR/><BR/>NSM,<BR/>Thanks. Ironically, my mom didn't like her picture to be taken, but there were plenty of pictures to choose from. :)<BR/><BR/>Dori,<BR/>I'm trying to find the article I had about that whole time frame. It's one of those incedents that people in the Woodrow Wison camp like to sweep under the rug, so to speak, because it was an embarassment. I never really knew about this whole block of history until one of my aunts became a history teacher at the college level, and dug up that bit of information. I'll try and find that article to post on my blog. I hope I get you meet you at the Nike event too! Yay! You're going! <BR/><BR/>Katie,<BR/>My mom was a unique individual, that's for sure! This past week sure was crazy at work! I don't know what my schedule is going to be like, and I hope the new person they hired works out! <BR/><BR/>Waddler26.2, <BR/>Thanks. I plan on saving this blog post for my kids. My daughter was only 2 and a half when she died, and my son was born a year later. They never knew her. <BR/><BR/>Shopper,<BR/>I know, blogger can be funny that way, which is why you've probably switched... My mom had a big heart. :)Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163803961338323135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12534874.post-42094166990229893292007-03-09T22:11:00.000-08:002007-03-09T22:11:00.000-08:00I thought I commented yesterday, but evidently it ...I thought I commented yesterday, but evidently it was either eaten by blogger OR I couldn't see through my tears that the comment moderation didn't work. ;)This was really a great post. I'm sure that you described your mom to a T. She definitely looked beautiful and sounds as if she had a beautiful heart to go along with it.

I'm surprised I never knew of Wilson's mandate to send Hispanics to Mexico; can't even imagine why he'd do that. What an f-ing racist.<BR/><BR/>Glad you got into the Nike 1/2.
