Thank you for reading this. Your comment really made me think that we shouldn't all be waiting for eulogies.

Sometimes, when I talk to women and hear these stories, I think hard about inheritable trauma. Julia's mother lost the ability to speak entirely, although, actually, it wasn't ability, since she spoke when she wanted to. I'm glad, too, that Julia kept hers.
