Gloria (818)

Still trying to figure this out.
This is me & my mom in 1972. She’s even more beautiful today. She taught me to love life & how to enjoy the small things. She is proud of me, even when I am not sure of myself. She has become the most loving & generous grandma to my daughters. 
Words can not express how much I love her or how much I appreciate her. She’s a role model to all single moms. 
I love you Mom. Thank you.

Awesome, the second lady has a quote from Susan B. Anthony! I’m proud to be related to her.

“Legalized abortions were not the START of women having abortions. It was the END of women dying from unsafe and unregulated abortions.”

Oh my gosh, every single one of these is good.

I really need to think about why I like this song.

Oh wow.  This made my eyes water. This makes me wish my girls were still little so that I could take advantage of this wonderful technology we have and document their lives.
I have few regrets about the way I raised my daughters, I don’t like regrets. There are people in our lives that feel they should express their opinions on how I have raised my daughters and now that they are older, they express these opinions to my daughters directly.  I don’t like that.
My regrets are:  I wish I had raised them vegetarian from the start, I wish I had raised them with a little less sexism, I wish I had embraced my Hispanic culture sooner so that I could have taught them to be proud of their heritage, and I wish I have taken more pictures.

Dear Scarlet,  Today you threw a huge fit. It was a thrashing, screaming, biting, pretend like the entire world is ending sort of fit. I could not calm you down for the life of me. Aunt Carly texted me in the middle of it and asked if she could call and try to talk you out of it. At first you weren’t having it, but eventually you started to make conversation with her. She told you that she really missed your smile and asked if we could take a picture of it and send it when we got off the phone and she’d send a picture of her new teacups. You agreed. You are so lucky to have so many wonderful people in your life, near and far. A few minutes ago we were talking about why you threw such a fit in the first place. You said, “Remember when Michael ran Meredith over with his car? He didn’t see her. It was an accident. Accidents happen. Sometimes when I cry, it’s an accident.” And that’s why I can’t stay mad at you.

Let it be known that this isn’t actually Fleet Foxes, but it still sounds damn amazing and as if this song couldn’t get any sadder for me.
