Thinking about My Mother Today

Frances Antoinette Brodnax Crider was born on this date in 1916.  She's 2-1/2 years old in the photo, I believe.  The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on this date in 1963 was a sad coincidence that has cast a long shadow.  Most people who think of this day think of that event.  So do I, but it's still in second place for me.  I always think of my mother first.

My sister's birthday is September 11. Even now, some 15 years after 9-11, it's still hard to get into a festive mood on that day. We tend to celebrate the night before.
