The Titanic set sail from the White Star Dock in Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912. The British passenger liner sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage. The sinking resulted in the loss of more than 1,500 passengers and crew making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.

    In 1972, I lost a great love in my life. My mom.
    Only 46 years old gone to cancer.

    An anniversary that has over these many years been at first filled with grief slowly changing to much gratitude and appreciation.

    To a day of fading remembrances of what she looked like, what she sounded like, what she loved in life, and what I loved the most about her.

    Today I listen to Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass as he plays The Lonely Bull and Whipped Cream thinking only of her.

    She knew me only as a boy. I will always know her as my mom.

    On this day, 235 years ago, the Second Continental Congress voted to adopt the Declaration of Independence. Even though they had already declared independence two days earlier, the American people were so moved by the Declaration that thereafter July 4th became our birthday. Happy Birthday America!

    On this day in 1789, George Washington gave his first inaugural adress as he was sworn in as the first president of the United States under the United States Constitution. He also asked for a "divine blessing" on the American People and Congress. [:)]
