Jul 2014

for helping to shape a society where women in general and my wife and daughter and now granddaughter call their own shots
thank you for not making me live in the world my parents did and suffer for it as they both did
thanks for shaping a world where we can just be us and enjoy that
thanks for all the other causes you have given your strength to through the years
thanks for keeping fighting even when it looks like you wont win, don't ever stop fighting
