A STACKED DECK INDEED

Visiting with Mother the other day I answered a question the nurse asked with a revelation. When she asked how many children Mother had I said "4 Queens and a Knave". A full deck of characters. The more you think about it, the more it makes sense. Accomplished strong women all, loyal to each other and each immensely herself.

Kathleen - Queen of Hearts - kind, compassionate, non-judgmental Mother, a tigress when aroused

Marcia- Queen of Diamonds - classic, sharp, a precious gem of sharp edges and infinite fire

Lori - Queen of Clubs - soldier, world traveler, confident, and tougher on herself than anyone else

Sheila -Queen of Spades - strong, acerbic tongue, defender of the weak, hater of those who take advantage.
