thank you, JJ.

You're sweet to acknowledge what I am trying to do.

The truth is we cannot identify with being a mother. We cannot identify with being a grandmother. It's similar to my thinking that everyones lOVES dogs or cats or whatever. Not the same, of course, but similar!

I'm not complaining about my life. It's been and continues to be wonderful. However, often times I get "the stare" because I don't "know".

For instance, some women just come up to me talking about breast feeding or grandchildren. I, too, give 'the stare' back 'cause I am clueless. Many assume we ALL can identify. I have to explain that I've never had children so i don't really understand what they are saying. That is when "the stare" happens!

you all know what i mean..I know you do!
