So I mentioned yesterday a sister I have....half sister actually, who I haven’t spoken to much for quite a few years. I know little about her but am learning. Big age difference between us.
Yesterday I got an email from her to greatly surprise me as I know nothing about her politics.
I HOPE YOU’RE VOTING FOR TRUMP. I HOPE YOU’RE NOT A LEFTY.
was the title line and it made my day.
Some more on that a little later.
So my half sister, who I referred to in an earlier comment upthread, sent me another email. This time she had a message....as I paraphrase....”I am so worried Biden is going to win this. And I hate living in a Democratic state like Maryland. My father was a devout Republican.”
Which brought up that good story.
Her father is my stepfather, my mother’s second husband. He was born in Germany and came to America sometime in the ‘60’s.
They had lived in East Germany, the part controlled by the USSR. They only way they could escapt was him and his younger sister to hide under blankets in the back of their car as they went through the East Germany checkpoint.
They managed to escape and had a sponsor for them in America. In those days immigrants had American citizen sposors.
He served in the American Army, he became a citizen, he loved this country with all his heart and soul until he died.
So it’s his daughter I am talking to and he and my mother had three children.
He taught his children to love America and as you can see, they do.
I told her Biden wasn’t going to win.
But she’s worried about it.
