[this really can’t be said enough!]

“…more time to practice disregarding what the world expected of me and focus on what I expected of me.”

Great story/memoir. I can see those age-defined breasts, your mother’s embarrassment, Freddy’s plaids and stripes. Wonderful Made me laugh, always a good thing. I hope both your breasts stay with you until it’s time for the wheelbarrow.
