Together

I started crying in the car today after picking up Meryl. The Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the radio playing all the protest and empowerment songs…and our delight of a daughter sitting in the back with her summer camp popsicle. What a gift she is, as well as my choice to bring her into this world. We chatted about strength and bravery and how gender is not indicative of either (oddly a conversation she had with friends today), and that we get to choose how we treat our bodies and how we feel and who we love, not someone else. It was brief, it was a moment together, and then we decided to get a car wash:)
