A born, raised, and still in, southwestern girl of 67 here. With the exception of being right-handed, our lives growing up seem to have been a parallel: a TERRIBLE experience with a brutal, heartless nun teacher in 1st grade, the training bra for absolutely nothing there, dreading the PE locker room because of that, standing by to watch rather than engage, because, well, you learn so much more about others when you watch their behavior and listen to blithering, empty words. Until I read your piece I thought no one knew of the soul connection between those meant to be in your life, whether passing through or permanently. All know a certain part of me meant to be shared; one or two know it all and still think I'm cool. Thank you for sharing and reminding me of what really matters in the end.

I so love reading your blogs. The experiences we have in childhood shape us in ways we don't often realize. Thanks for being you and spending time with you has been delightful! Enjoy your new adventure.
