Today, we remember and celebrate one of the people who gave us a sense of self, confidence to begin, empathy for living things, strength to stick in there, and on and on.
My own mother, Patrician Jean Tybuec Cummings, braved ten of us, a feat I don’t think I’d survive. She was head dispatcher at EMS, retiring after 20+ years, a military wife for 20 years, moving as the Navy saw fit; an island girl and hula dancer, Girl Scout leader, volunteer in every conceivable capacity for church, school, sports, etc.; she’s an athlete; confidante; healer of wounds, both physical and mental; and continues to be a strong example at 84 years old.
I hope you are able to spend time with your own Mom—thank her for loving you. Mother Theresa said it best, “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.”
