I would love to go to the Saturday event! I usually talk about my amazing mother (who sacrificed a lot as my single parent and went to law school at age 40 to give us both a better life) as my role model, but having just lost my grandmother on May 25, I have all her accomplishments on my mind. She was active, feisty, fun and silly until her last day at age 78. She remembered every birthday, anniversary and graduation. She worked throughout the &#39;50s and &#39;60s when middle-class, married women didn&#39;t. She continued working sporadically through her 70s, too. My crazy grandfather left her after 40 years of marriage, and she never lost a beat in rebuilding her life. She was so strong and loving and exactly who I want to be one day.
