March Fourth

My mom marched on.

So that became the last, it seems fitting, question my grandma Nellie would ask, which we have recently related to my mom: what was the only date that was also a command?

March Fourth. And she did on that day.

My grandma's youngest daughter, Ruth Muriel McWilliams at birth, passed away this past March 4th on Tuesday. It was a long week for me, even longer for others involved like my step-father Terry and oldest sister Monique.

She was my mom living for 73 years.

I have been thinking a lot about her lately, obviously.

Glad to have been raised and loved by her.
