Your mom was wise, indeed, and a pillar of strength.

I have the same feelings when I listen to the opposing tribe campaigning and pontificating. Those ideals you learned about and embraced - are indeed lost on them. Never mind how they talk. It's what they DO that proves it. And we're all the poorer for it.

All the more reason why we need YOU and many others like you! VERY glad you're here!
