Thank you for sharing your story. I think your mom and mine would have gotten along great and yes, it’s thanks to them that we are who we are.

Mothers are the least of all heros that are thanked or remembered.It takes special women to be Mothers.May we all have the honor of being called one and live up to the challenge as your’s and ours has with the beauty and grace and love they gave selflessly of themselves to us our entire lives.

I loved this post. Mothers really are wonderful. We owe them a lot more credit then we give them. My mother struggled to give me and my brother an easy life here. I try to make things easier for her now but its simply a debt I won’t ever be able to pay back in full.
I see everyone putting “Caridad is a crazy chica!” in their posts so I thought I would too. Happy Memorial Day.

What a wonderful heritage you have! I just got done spending an evening with 3 very strong women, and enjoyed every moment of it. I sat with my Grandmother, Mother, and Sisinlaw looking through family photos for a 60th Anniversary DVD I’m putting together. Looking through those old photos and hearing the stories that were behind every one of them, I realized I come from a long line of crazy chicas!

Thank you so much for your charming characters and wonderfully fun reads!

I enjoyed reading about how your mother’s struggle inspired you. It was a brave thing she did, and I hope that one day democracy will return to Cuba.

I liked the opening of the novel, too. I hope we’ll have the chance to read more of it soon!

It’s hard to say if the Indiana Jones film will ignite interest in the real crystal skulls enough to convince a publisher to buy the books. I enjoyed the movie, but too many people around me were grumbling and complaining as we left the theatre. I think they had it in their heads that they were going to hate the movie, so they did.

I find the stories and myths surrounding the real crystal skulls to be fascinating, especially the one that says all the skulls must be brought together to prevent the end of the world!

We found a motel with Internet, so here I am! My mother was also a strong woman. She had two young children and my father was ill an out of work. She went back to college and got her teaching degree and taught for over 35 years. We need to pass this strength to the current generation. Caridad is a crazy chica and she and the others who posted here can do this.

Thanks for sharing the story of your mom. She sounds like a strong, intelligent woman who should be an inspiration to all women. Also I loved the free read. It was awesome and I hope you plan to continue it later on. Happy Memorial Day and have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
