My Mother

I don't remember November 22 as the day JFK was shot, or not only because of that.  I remember it because it's my mother's birthday.  She and my grandmother both loved the beach, and here they are in Galveston, long ago.  I miss them both more than I can say.

I know the feeling.

Wow, I totally forgot today was November 22. We have a lot of important dates around this time of year (like my birthday). And yes, I remember exactly where I was on 11/22/63.

Nice picture.

Sorry they're gone but enjoy the warm memories.

My Mom loved the beach, too, although there aren't many around here and the beach season here is very short.

I know the feeling well, today is also my mother's birthday.

As someone conceived in the aftermath of the assassination and born on the 19th Hiroshima Day, all sympathies, Bill. My mother has always loved the beach, as well.
