Beautiful tribute. Maryjane and I became friends in middle school. My mom was an immigrant with limited English skills. Marge sought out my mom at mothers club meetings, and made her feel welcome. My very Catholic mom also believed that abortion should be legal - she strongly believed it was much worse to bring an unwanted child into the world. Much love.
Such a wonderful tribute to a wonderful woman. I was thinking some of the same things on Mother's Day. I remember not being able to get my own checking account without a MALE signature and only was able to get my first credit card in my own name (who else's name could I get it in?) in 1973. Not only did this make me think about my mom but also about myself. I remember girls going to "special doctors" for illegal abortions in high school. I remember one girl in college ending up with a hysterectomy to save her life after a botched abortion. We have fought too hard to go backwards now!
I completely understand this! The night that Trump won the election, I said for the first time in my life that I was “happy my father was dead” to not see what the country came to!
Your mother was lovely. Many fond memories.
Maryjane, this is a beautiful tribute to Aunt Marge. It helps me to know more about her story and her values. Thank you for sharing! Love you, Sallie
Love you, too, cuz!

Hi. Heidi.
Your Mom was right

A tribute to your mom! I totally agree- thought about my mom and mother in law while reading. We can’t go back!
Hugs

Hi Lynn, Same here. I came back from deployment trying to create social order in time to see willful disorder break out here.
And yes, MJs Mom was a very special person.
