If she had lived, yesterday would have been my mother's 64th birthday. I can't even imagine my mother as a 64 year old woman. On a happier note, Prop 8 was overruled by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional! This could set an important precedent.
Yesterday at Starbucks I was standing in line behind a man ordering from his wheelchair, who was a quadruple amputee. Both legs above the knee and both arms below the elbow. He must have been a veteran; looked fairly young. He put his coffee in his chair cupholder and simply went to where his friend was waiting for him and started booting up his laptop without even asking for any help from anyone. It really puts what we think of as our everyday "problems" in perspective.
