Happy Birthday to my mom Lola Parker Galin, who would have been 95 years old. We love you and miss you. To honor your memory I do crossword puzzles every morning, and watch Jeopardy every night. I try to "stand up straight", love my children and grandkids almost unconditionally (as you did), take my meds.
You had 3 brothers and were thrilled that you had 2 daughters. You hoped that Janice and I would be close and supportive of each other and we are. You accepted responsibilities way beyond what was required.
You taught us to hate Republicans.
You taught us how to make matzah ball soup.
You taught us to love Broadway musicals. (you tried to get us to appreciate opera and classical music but no go)
Okay mom, you weren't perfect, but damn close.
So glad to have known this classy lady!
