I had another dream in which my Mom, now gone many years, and I were talking. This is the second dream now that I've experienced her presence so powerfully that I am moved to tears to think of it. Mother's Day and spring flowers are now infused with her memory because her diagnosis of Lymphoma and her death were bracketed in one year between Mother's Days.
In each dream she looked lovely. In the first dream she looked a little bewildered like Shoeless Joe in the movie Field of Dreams. In the second dream she had returned to her role as my chief nurturer and listener. We had a good talk and then she left me to carry on with my task at hand.
The office of U.S. Senator Ed Markey, who claimed on national television in an interview with CNN earlier this week that a grand jury had convened in New York to investigate President Donald Trump's campaign's alleged ties to Russia, was forced to backpedal on the claim after multiple outlets revealed that Markey's source for the claim was likely a series of left-wing conspiracy blogs.
"Senator Markey does not have direct intelligence that is the case, and the information he was provided during a briefing is not substantiated," Markey's spokesman Giselle Barry told the Boston Herald after the longtime pol was questioned regarding the authenticity of his claim.
