Hillary cancels ... Mom ill
Oh good Lord! This is the first year I have ever forgotten, on
Hillary's birthday, to thank Mrs, Rodham, as I habitually do, on
Mothers' Day and Hillary's birthday, for giving us our Hillary, and
now this. Prayers and candles!
Mrs. Rodham, you are my adopted mom ever since I lost my own. I pray
you will be well. And thank you, as always, for giving us our
Hillary! I join hands with the Clinton and Rodham families and the
whole Hillary network in praying for the health of the outstanding, wonderful, and courageous dear mother of our precious Hillary.
