HAPPY 87th B’DAY to my sainted, superhero mom.
Widowed young w/o a h.s. diploma, mom waited tables for 55 years—walking a quarter-million miles & serving ≈ 2 million customers.
Awe-inspiring grit.
I held my #SCOTX swearing-in on her 75th b’day, to honor her life of sacrifice.

In Texas terms, mom walked 85x around the perimeter of the Lone Star State.
A trip & a half every year of her working life.
