International Womens Day Tribute




Although this wasn't officially recognized until "1977" by the United Nations, the history of the celebration can be traced back t.o the early 20th century, thanks t.o labour movements across North America and Europe.

Commemoration of International Women's today ranges from being a public holiday in some countries t.o being largely ignored elsewhere. In some places, it is a day of protest; in others, it is a day that celebrates womanhood.

I want t.o take this opportunity t.o recognize some of the amazing women in my life. This is a brief synopsis, otherwise I could write a page about each one.

Emmeline Pankhurst
A political activist participated in the famous Black Friday; a suffragette demonstration in London, England on 'November 18, 19'. The women stormed the Houses of Parliament, trying t.o secure the right for women t.o vote. I have postcards she wrote 'to' other family members during her travels.

My Great Aunt
After her engagement in the "1940s", she postponed her wedding so she could after her mother had become bedridden. After ten yrs. , she pursued a successful business career. When her husband developed severe heart disease, she learned t.o drive when she turned sixty-five so that she wouldn't worry that he might suffer a fatal heart attack while driving. They never had but were generous t.o m.e with their time and knowledge.

My Mother
At the age of nineteen and the eldest of five , she lost her mother t.o cancer. Once her were in school full time, she changed careers and became a municipal employee as a dental assistant until her retirement at age sixty-five.

My Aunt
She was nine yrs. and the youngest of the five siblings when their mother died. She later lost her youngest t.o a brain tumour, her husband t.o lung cancer and now in her eighties is dealing with breast cancer. Her calm demeanour is one that I have always admired.

My Sisten-in-Law
Within a span of fewer than twenty-four months, she lost her brother, her aunt, her father and then her mother. She had a successful corporate career, moving through the executive ranks, creating several unique<b> positions </font></b>while also raising her . She retired before the age of fifty-five and is actively involved in her community and assorted women's events.

My Best Friend Susan
We met through work over twenty-five yrs. ago. Five yrs. after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was also diagnosed. Five yrs. later she developed bone cancer. She has participated in several clinical trials. She never complains and continues living with grace and dignity. I am honoured she is my friend.

"Always be the first- version of yourself, instead of a second- version of somebody else." - Judy Garland.

Be kind t.o all the women in your life, today and every day.

Women should look to support one another, not for ways to constantly be unkind. There is strength in numbers!

I found out today at noon that I will be allowed to see my mother Wed at 1:45 .. My sister and I will have that time to have the first face to face in a year.. Not sure how or what she will remember but maybe it will be a good visit; we do have to take and pass a quick covic test. and the time will be limited.. To all a good day, just be safe..
