My daughter

Mother Daughter Kicking contest - Scenes from Morro Bay, CA beach 21 June 2008

My daughter, who has bi-polar mental illness. She struggles daily with this horrible affliction, and ministers to the poor and homeless as a manager in a.n Olympia organization which provides food, work references, and a clothing bank for the needy. She is selfless, and donates countless hours helping those in need. If she got paid by the hour, she would be a millionaire. She is unfailingly kind and patient, even when it strains her own resources to the limit. I love her so much, and she is my inspiration.
