One letter she did send though and enclosed was this printout with no known author. I do not declare that I wrote or compiled this list or Tribute to Women however I have added a few inspirational moments of my own or of women who have inspired me to keep steadfast during this crazy time.
So, I know I never say it...it's because I am pig-headed and stubborn, I know... Mom, I'm sorry. You were right. Somehow we have a crazy way of communicating but I get the message: Stay Strong. And that's what I'm doing.
Thanks for the reminder...
All the way from over here...

A TRIBUTE TO WOMEN
This list is to be used for moments of inspiration, especially when the "Poor Me" stories start. If at any moment you are beginning to believe that you have hit rock-bottom, remember that the bottom is only in perspective of where the hole ends. If you look upwards, towards the light and the idea of possibilities..well, anything can happen! Don't forget what we have been through. Don't forget where we are going. Don't forget your progress. And if you are in doubt, call your mother! Enjoy.
