Firstly, I remember my first year of Uni and being a Women's Studies student. I can't recall what we read or who my professors were but I remember how it made me feel and still carry that joyous, empowered feeling in my being some 30 years later. So much gratitude.
Secondly, as a carer for my elder mother some 8 years ago, navigating the US system coming from another country, it was harrowing but it was always worth it. I agree, it is possible, with time and effort and coming together of people, in time, it is possible. Thank you for writing.
Pam - what you write is so true! It reminds me of when I first became pregnant 35 years ago - suddenly the world seemed positively overflowing with pregnant people! Now that I am a caregiver, my antennae, like yours, also seemed tuned to others in similar circumstances. It can only be a good thing.
I remember discovering (for the very first time) an entire aisle in the grocery store filled with baby food, formula, teething rings, etc. 😂 When our lives change, the world around us does too.

Hi Pam, I feel the same..we can't lose hope.
Sending love and admiration to you and Mike.
