I saved this essay in my inbox. I wanted to read it when it arrived, but I was in a swamp of way-too-much-else right then so now I am here now, with such appreciation for your words, the latch, our friend Georgia, and the private feelings that I have about not having my own child (there's a recent poem about this, actually), and the body stuff, and the society stuff, and all the grief I hold silently, privately (because I am private in these matters, but also, where and how to even voice some of it? I am not sure I have many models), which is to say: Wow, thank you, Maggie. I love this essay and you and the photo of your ceremony. You look like a celestial goddess.
More of this please! I want hear all about it. And I am hiding in the couch as someone small that looks like me screams about what book she does or doesn’t want to read.

Holly, thank you so much! I just saw this note. Beautiful. XO
