Happy Birthday Mom

My Mom turned 87 today. Here she is with my beautiful sister Barbara.

We spent the past few days getting her moved to Atlanta, where my other beautiful sister will be there to brighten my mother's day on a day to day basis.

Meanwhile, in Bellevue, the Boy from Brooklyn is slowly getting to the point where they can start the rehab.

There will be much for him to learn, as he must train his body to work from the waist up, while still caring for the parts of his body that can no longer move. He is not alone, as his friends continue to visit him, and stay with him, and cheer him on, and send money to help him, because he will need great amounts of money living in the land of free and the brave. When you don't have health insurance, like 47 million other Americans, one can wonder what part is free?

Care-free? Universal Healthcare-free? There is no doubting the bravery of those who choose to live there, to make their lives and dreams come true. It's time for America to get beyond red states and blue states, and speak up for all those who may be in the same situation as Scotty Hard, and not be as fortunate to have as many friends and loved ones there for him.

We can change the world in our sleep. Just think what we can do when we're awake.
