Years later, when I was married, I wanted to have more children, but I couldn’t conceive. Isn’t it wonderful that I had a child at 16? Praise God!”

Amazing. My mother had the same experience.

Ping!

This story is a bit misleading, imho.

Thanks for posting this.

Wow. I like her now. I hope this is a big part of the inevitable parade of people celebrating her life. I’m pretty sure it won’t be but I can hope.

[ifinnegan]

How so?

[bboop]

This is very sweet. I had no idea, thanks for posting.

Me, blah, blah, me, blah blah blah, and then again, me. She was on par with the known domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Google him and have a barf bag handy. Google her and be prepared to pass out.

A nice story... ...and yet...
...Maya Angelou was completely / effectively silent about the butchery of abortion all throughout the Clinton years, those year she was on the Clinton payroll.

That's when these words would have counted the most.

[ifinnegan]

Yeah. It won’t be.

[trisham]

I read a bio of her.

[cripplecreek]

Same here.

[Incorrigible]

Bump

[Mrs. Don-o]

This is great.

I'm going to run this in our parish newsletter.

What a beautiful testimony. It has changed my opinion of her. Thanks for posting.

I do believe she was the madam of a whore house in her long ago days.

[GeronL]

She was also a prostitute

[miss marmelstein]

I feel sorry for prostitutes. I have no respect for madams. Maybe she repented this, I don’t know.

[johnsmom]

met her in Winston at my old job. She needed a video made and my employer did the filming, editing, etc. I was the lowly secretary that delivered her lunch, messages, etc.

She spent several days at our studio with Oprah’s boyfriend, Stedman. She was famous for a quote that went something like “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” She learned that from practice.

Other than that experience, I had never met anyone so uppity and entitled. And I am 54 years old. Not a humble bone in her body. Maybe she hated me because I was WHITE...not rich...whatever. She was a hateful woman to those she considered beneath her...or those she imagined as the spawn of her oppressors.

Regardless, condolences to her family.

The femiNazis are going to go apple-shiite over this story.
