Oh Marissa, if I can type with streaming tears I will. Bless you for writing this. I am sure your mother is more besotted with you than ever. I am somewhere in the range of your Mom's age I bet, and raised my kids in a similar fashion. They are teens now and proving themselves to be individuals I am proud to know. And making a choice, THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE, is what each and every wave of feminism is about. There is so much in the news right now about what we don't have, even yet, but on the waves of Gloria Steinem's honor last week, I say, we are making strides, all of us. And as you say, we are here to praise and raise-kids, each other, and to celebrate. Thank you for this post. Stop in at my blog sometime to say hello. Best, Suzi
