Winter Vegetables
I have a draft of a second original Mom's story as of today. YAYAYAYAYAY!!!! I'm in the middle of several interviews at this point, but I am still interested in finding a variety of stories. I am still looking for more women who would like to tell their stories about relinquishing a baby for adoption. If you are interested in participating in my book, leave me a comment or email me your contact information. This process is very exciting, difficult, but exciting.
How do people feel about calling hours? Today there were calling hours for a woman whom I admired a lot. A woman who when I went to start The Literacy Project, Inc. in 1984 was unbending about the standards in which she expected us to live up to. I was in complete agreement with her. My goal, my vision was what she saw, but I had the realities of money hanging over my head. She did not let me forget the goal, to compromise in the slightest. She took me to task in a Chamber of Commerce meeting one morning about not being on Main St. She felt we needed to be even more central than we were, one block up. I respected her. I loved her. I loved her determination and her guts.
She died last Sunday at 93 after a good and meaningful life. I decided to stay home and offer a prayer to her in the silence of my own space instead of going to calling hours. R.I.P. Risky Case. You did good.
