Morbid me (OT)
Singh wrote in news:4417BE55.FE0B6C21
@localnet.com: This past weekend my mother, who died in 1988, would have had her birthday. She would have been 98, if she had had the constitution of Rose Kennedy. She was nealy 60 when she adopted me as a baby, which is how at the age of 40 I had George Burns in drag for a mom. Your mom sounds like an amazing woman, and it's not morbid to remember her, nor is it morbid to share her a bit with us.

She lived in great unhappiness because America gave her freedom, and a miserable marriage to her was worth a life free to vote as she would and believe as she would with no government interference. She served her country proudly until illness forced a medical discharge upon her. Before coming here she had been in one of Hitler's internment camps for helping the Underground help Jews out of her native Poland. For my American friends, please do your kids a favor. Give them a flag and tell them that, if history had gone differently, we would have had swastikas instead of stars. Blessed be, Baha your mother sounds like an amazing woman. I bet you are proud of her!!! Thankyou for letting us share her memory. |

Thank you for telling us about your mom. I don't have kids, but I'm young enough that I'll just tell myself that. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Nothing to be proud of here. -L. |

I'm amazed at the strength and spirit fo people who can go through such horrific things and still make a life for themselvse that includes the capacity to love others. My ex's mother is Polish, and whilst evaded the camps, had horror stories of her own (that I'm not repeating here), and yet she remained the sweetest, kindest, gentlest woman. Such lives ought to be, *NEED* to be celebrated as they are a testament to what freedom actually is. *hugs* to you & your family on this bittersweet day. Yowie |

I've printed out a copy of your first post and put it up where we can all ready it. Pam S. |

Thanks everyone. I tend to get a little maudlin right around this time,
don't mind me. I'm glad there are so many who appreciate the service and example that one person presented. And thank you for putting up with the tear in my beer that I've been having in recent times. And Nomen (somehow I think you're nearby!) Frances was a gunnery instructor in the Navy. She did teach me to use and respect a rifle. Blessed be, Baha Singh wrote: This past weekend my mother, who died in 1988, would have had her birthday.
