This is so kind and compassionate. Thankfully, I don’t much feel the sting of comments like these anymore. Also, I could tell she was really talking about herself, and not realizing how it would read to other women who are “just” aunts and never became mothers. I just let it roll off — except that I won’t be quiet about it! LOL. I feel like we need to keep talking about this until this nonsense disappears.

Thank you so much for this warmth, for this nurturing comment. I really appreciate it. xoxo
