Cathy Denny: An Interview with Dr. Lorio's Mom (and Hero!)

A dream of mine has been to interview the woman who raised me and who taught me so much: empathy, resilience, and selfless generosity. Today, I share with you the gift of my mother’s story. A woman of so much life experience, my mom was born in the 50’s, lived through the changes of the Second Vatican Council, saw an older brother go off to fight in the Vietnam War and how that affected him, became a nurse anesthetist in labor and delivery (before all the technology we have now!), and also got married and raised three children. The details of women’s stories are precious gold, and to have my mother share with us at my kitchen table is both a great honor and also a priceless gift for me to treasure as time passes. So pull up a chair or lace up your running shoes, and allow us to accompany you in your plans for the day. I hope her story and wisdom can bless you as much as it has blessed me. We have been given so much. May we always remember and be grateful for the battles the women before us have fought that have paved the way for us to have the opportunities we have today.
