CALL 2

Another time, another call:

“So tell me, what’s your idea of a patriot?” I said.

“Hmm. I’d say a patriot is someone who believes in their country, who’s loyal to their country,” Mom said. “A patriot is someone who, whether America is right or wrong, they ride with them. Someone who’d rather live in America than anywhere else. Come to think about it, a patriot is almost like being a mom.”

“Almost like being a mom?” I said. “Okay, let me hear you explain this one.”

“Because as a mom, sometimes you know your child is wrong, but you still stand by them. You stand with your child through the good and the bad until the final outcome,” she said. “Some people see America as a mother. But what if it’s the other way around? What if America is the child the patriot must protect?”

“Then I guess that means you’re a patriot?” I said.

“Well, I wouldn’t say that,” Mom said. “But I will say donating is about the most patriotic thing I do. Cause even though I do it because I need the money, I’ve got to believe that what I give will be put to good use. Shoot, they can’t pay you enough for no body fluids. That’s priceless.”
