Rusty,
How very sad that your sister’s death coincides with Mother’s Day this year.
In away it will be easier for them, let me explain.
Others have Mothers who died in August and still have to face Mother’s Day in May. Two days to mourn.
I hope that doesn’t sound heartless, it is not meant to be.
I have this verse that I have had since the early 80’s.
Actually I read it at my Mother’s funeral in 1988.
Rae Turnbull was such a thoughtful and heartfelt writer and she used to have weekly verse in the Detroit News.
“Though logic tells me something else,
I tend to think my Mom will always be there.
She always has been.
Exactly where she should be every time that she was needed and she’s always done what was needed all the time.
Scolding or soothing, remembering or reminding, laughing with me and sometimes crying.
Her existence is a constant in my life, so I am sure I take for granted her availability.
‘Yet I know there will come a time when I have to live without her.
And I also know I can, for some of her great strength she gave to me.
And I’m certain she will always be a constant in my life.
Each time she’s needed, she’ll be there, inside my mind, inside my heart, deep in my memory.”
I hope this helps and they realize it is a sad time but she is deep in their hearts and memory forever.
Take best care.
Thank you! I love that poem.
NATURE publishes insane rant by Texas pediatrician Peter Hotez, who seemingly calls for United Nations SHOCK TROOPS to wage “counteroffensive” against all anti-vaxxers – (opinion)
Echoing the fascism of genocidal maniacs like Hitler and Stalin, Peter Hotez displays his own brand of insanity by equating vaccine skeptics with cyber criminals and nuclear terrorism, calling for an armed “counteroffensive” run by law enforcement to target and attack all who oppose vaccines, including vaccine-damaged whistleblowers, apparently.
He writes about all this in a seemingly deranged rant published by NATURE, which states:
Halting the spread of the coronavirus will require a high-level counteroffensive against new destructive forces.
Efforts must expand into the realm of cyber security, law enforcement, public education and international relations. A high-level inter-agency task force reporting to the UN secretary-general could assess the full impact of anti-vaccine aggression, and propose tough, balanced measures. The task force should include experts who have tackled complex global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks and nuclear armament, because anti-science is now approaching similar levels of peril. It is becoming increasingly clear that advancing immunization requires a counteroffensive.
In his bizarre rant, Hotez claims there are “targeted attacks on scientists” but doesn’t name a single scientist who has been physically attacked, harmed or killed by any so-called “anti-vaxxer.” To halt this fictitious “aggression,” he then calls for, quite literally, targeted (armed) attacks on anti-vaxxers, essentially explaining government forces must be weaponized and aggressively deployed against vaccine skeptics in order to stop “anti-vax aggression” by using a “counteroffensive” of law enforcement (who are obviously armed).
Hotez says “Russian intelligence organizations” are behind much of the vaccine “disinformation” that’s currently published on the ‘net. He then claims, without evidence, that such Russian disinformation campaigns are intended to “destabilize the United States.” Does he mean the same United States that’s being deliberately destabilized by Joe Biden’s lawless regime through wide open borders, mad money printing, rigged elections and tyrannical medicine?
Hotez claims anti-vaccine groups “target Black communities,” but deliberately lies and misleads NATURE readers, since the vaccine skeptics are actually warning Black Americans about Tuskegee-like medical experiments that have long been known to deliberately harm Blacks in the name of “scientific progress.” (Is Hotez a Tuskegee denier? A Holocaust denier?)

Be polite. No threats.
Thank you for this poem. I’m going to share its sentiments with my nephews who lost their mothers. my beloved sisters, several years or many decades ago
