Twitchy favorite and Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett took to twitter to honor his 86-year-old mother and it’s wonderful. Check it out:
Visited my 86YO mom today at her memory-care facility.

Mom never finished high school & waited tables at the local truck stop.
She waitressed 55 years.
Unfathomable grit, sacrifice & fortitude. pic.twitter.com/lzRbjFE3Nu

And since it’s Justice Willett, there are GIFs, of course:
The night before I joined #SCOTX, I estimated that my mom had walked a QUARTER-MILLION miles in her half-century plus of waiting tables! pic.twitter.com/Q7zxE84SOj

To put that distance into perspective:
250,000 miles!
In Texas terms, mom walked 85x around the perimeter of the Lone Star State.
A trip & a half every year of her working life. pic.twitter.com/Y60lLYTZIH

What a fantastic woman:
For my mom—widowed at 41—finding quality child care for her kids was indispensable. Hats off to heroic moms like mine & those who help them. pic.twitter.com/p0t4xVJoGE

“STRONG WOMEN FOR THE WIN,” indeed:
I held my #SCOTX swearing-in on 11/21/05.
My mom's 75th b'day!
To honor her & the obstacles she'd overcome.
STRONG WOMEN FOR THE WIN! pic.twitter.com/qyVr13QfwW
