Anybody else finding themselves tearing up all day?
It's been an almost overwhelming last few days. The names of the Charleston being recited at the funeral had me crying..Then...
I was with my 93 year old mother at the doctor's office...she'in hospice at an assisted living place. While waiting, I told her that the teachers she worked with decades ago would have been happy today...Chris couldn't marry his partner then, Paul, Hugh...I said that if they were alive, they would be stunned.
I told her healthcare was upheld, and the Confederate flag was starting to come down. Damned, I'm moist-eyed again!
She smiled, she knew...dementia doesn't stop all our humanity.

She's the mother of a transgender son -- wasn't home so I left a voicemail -- when I got to the part about the President's phone call to Obergefell, I choked up and started to cry. I've been leaking ever since.
Such joy, such joy.
