Mom’s First Hug at 69

Best-selling author, book critic and journalist, Meredith Maran, shares a deeply inspiring story about how, after a lifetime of aversions, she and her mom Rita became friends when Meredith was 69 and Rita 93. We learn so much from these exceptional ladies: not to give up before a miracle, that no one is just good or evil (not even our mothers), that anger is like drinking poison, and that people do change – even at 69. Or 93. <p>To learn more about Meredith, and to read the article she wrote "<span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">O Magazine"</span> <span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> about her and Rita becoming friends late in life, please go</span> <a style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;" href= "https://meredithmaran.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/OmagMM.pdf">here</a><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">To contact Ana, please send your mail to: info@thankyoumama.net</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">For more about “Thank You, Mama" and to subscribe to the newsletter, please visit: <a href= "http://www.tajder.com/"><span class= "s2">http://www.thankyoumama.net</span></a></span></p>
