23. On The Contrary... These Are The Most Valuable Stories Of All...

I probably should have been the baby of the family.

My mom has told me that she had three miscarriages before I was born, and was called a "Habitual Aborter" by her MALE Doctor, and told by him that she would never be able to have children.

Well... I'm the first/oldest and the only boy, and I have three wonderful younger sisters.

My mom has never forgotten/forgiven the "Habitual Aborter" label, and has kicked ass feministically... ever since.

These are the stories that REALLY MATTER.
