In a political landscape often filled with turmoil, one heartwarming story has emerged that offers a glimmer of hope. Just days before her passing, 90-year-old Margaret Thompson cast her mail-in ballot for Hillary Clinton, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Her son, Jake Thompson, shared this touching moment with a Facebook group of enthusiastic Hillary supporters, where it sparked a wave of compassion.
The post, accompanied by a photo of Margaret proudly holding her ballot, read, “My mom. Voting for HRC. She waited 90 years. She passed away last night. She’ll be cheering from above on Election Night.” 😢✌🏼👼🏼
The response was overwhelming, with over 2,500 comments from group members offering their condolences and sharing in the celebration of Margaret’s life. Jake, who had never anticipated such an outpouring of support, expressed his gratitude, remarking on the kindness that still exists amidst the divisiveness of the election. “It’s like when people stop to pay their respects during a funeral procession. It shows that love truly trumps hate,” he said.
Margaret had been in hospice care for eight months before her passing, and her family was touched by how many people took a moment to honor her memory. “She was a proud ‘Roosevelt Democrat,’” Jake shared. “You all have lightened our heavy hearts and given mom the ultimate send-off by going viral. Thank you!”
As for her final wishes, Margaret opted for a no-fuss celebration instead of a funeral. She simply wanted her family to enjoy a delicious meal at their favorite Chinese restaurant, raising a toast to her and Hillary.
