I'm so proud of my 87yo mother who attended the Harris rally in Harrisburg

a few days ago. She lives in the burbs near the city. She went all by herself. I just think that's awesome!

She walks with a cane if walking far. From her car to the entrance then into the venue was a ways, and she was using her cane.

Fortunately a member of staff noticed her struggling a bit and escorted her to a section of seats near the front held for invited guests and, apparently, elderly in need of a rest. A very welcome assist!

I've always felt so lucky to have both my parents & *most* of my siblings as fellow Dems!
