My mother believes in us

[redbird]

This is the email I got this morning:

Dear Vicki,


I hope and assume you were able to take part in yesterday’s protest. I’m so proud of what you, [cattitude] and Adrian have been doing during these terrible times. Will try to phone later today to see how it went for you.


Love as always

Mom

I spoke to my mother this afternoon; she thought we were moving in a couple of weeks, not the middle of this week, and wouldn't have expected us to be at the rally if she'd had the rest of our schedule right.

(Icon) for all of you that went, and for Mom.

Always good to have family support! :)

That is a big thing, which I almost take for granted: I was raised on Pete Seeger, and my parents got a babysitter so they could go to Washington to march with Martin Luther King. On this specific issue, even more so: my mother is a Holocaust survivor.

This is the vote of confidence, not just that Mom thinks we're doing the right thing, but she knows that it's important to us. And tangentially another acknowledgement of the relationship with Adrian, in that "the three of you."

I'm not old enough to have marched with Dr King, but I did find his speech on Youtube once, several years ago, so I did actually get to hear it - albiet not live. Sadly, I think it's no longer available, since some shenanigans were done with copyright and the estate managers decided to take it private. :(
