It's just her body. What a waste." Hey Natalia, I was sad before I went. She is bright and worked full time up until she was 88. She raised a daughter on her own. The daughter became so self reliant that in her late teens she hiked all over Europe and a lot of Asia, was a member of the Bread and Puppet Theater and worked through college to a PHD in Social Work. She rescued a couple of Indian children from the wars in Central America and raised them as a single mother. Because they are Indian she brought them to our community and participated with them in our ceremonials and rituals. Meanwhile she is known as an angel to the police because she would step right in front of a policeman's gun to protect a child in a drug dealers apartment. She is now retired but has gone back to school and is continuing to do her profession privately. What an amazing little woman with an amazing mother who smiled a huge smile and spoke beautifully with a mind that speaks for someone much younger than her 90+ years. So much knowledge in so frail a body. It was a gift to me today. Thank you Miriam, Wado Edoda.
