Had the chance to experience something pretty incredible todaythanks to my friend Peter. Toured Blair House and communed with history in the room where Preston Blair and Abraham Lincoln had strategy chats during the Civil War.

On this Mother's Day, I am remembering the remarkable sacrifice of a mother from Port Carbon. Agnes Allison sent four sons from their adopted home in Schuylkill County to fight for the Union Army in the Civil War. All four - Alexander, George, James and John - were killed in action. In July 1908, the citizens of Port Carbon dedicated a monument to "Mother Allison" in the town's Presbyterian Cemetery. She entered the pantheon of American history as one of the rare mothers who lost multiple sons in service to the United States.

Happy Mother’s Day to this wonderful momma ❤️❤️❤️

Just me, David, and Goliath’s severed head 🗡
