Hello, My Dear Change.Org Fam!
It is 9:20 p.m. Mountain Time.
I spent the day celebrating Mother's Day with my family. I spoke with my 83-year-old mum in Africa. Christina, my daughter sang her a song that she (her grandmother) used to sing on payday. The song goes something like this: "All - e- lu- ea -a All - e- lu-ea. Hall -e - llu - ea - a Halleluia, Halleluia, Halleluia!" on repeat! Mum was happy that her granddaughter remembered the song.
So, I had two sisters, one of whom passed away over ten years ago. It's the one whose son I adopted. He lives out of state, and he sent me a happy Mother's Day greeting! The one sister lives in Lesotho, and I got to speak with her today. She couldn't tell my voice and Christina's apart, and we thought it was funny because she was confusing her responses to our questions.
Christina and I made lunch - steamed veggies - at my place and then went for a drive and a photo shoot. I will be posting the photos for you to see. One of them is on this petition update!
I wish a happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in the world and those who fulfill the responsibility of a mother.
