jovibennett's JournalMy mother and best friend passed yesterday
She was the one who turned me onto DU. I would see her on the site starting in 2008. She didn't post, as far as I know, but she really enjoyed reading what other people wrote about the election and she agreed with everyone. One day I asked her what was it about DU that kept her coming back. She told me it was insightful discussions and the how polite people were to each other on here. She told me to try it and see. Well she got me hooked. She always called herself a yellow dog democrat- never quit understood that until she she said a yellow dog ( or any dog ) could run the country better than Bush and she vote for one if one ever ran. Then "it" stepped into the ring. She never addressed Trump with his name. She called him "it"- because he lurked in the gutters and scares the shit out of everyone"- She loved Stephen King. She said he would kill the country and everything it stands for. As she got sicker and was in and out of the hospital they would ask her who the president was ( to test memory ) she would say "it". They would at me and I would say she still has her memory, it's all good. This last week she was not here. She looked at me and never really saw me. She passed at home with me by her side. She was truly my best friend. People have been asking me what my plans are since I was her care giver and devoted so many years to being with her, I tell them keep reading DU and resisting "it", everything else will fall into place when the time is right
