Being free to say your piece matters. For example, if you thought a book inappropriate for your ninth grade daughter to study in English you could go to a school board meeting and say so, right?
The discussion was about the book, but the real issue is the right to have a discussion.
That could so easily have been me …

I would love to know what happened after that . . . and yes, I can imagine you having your say.
Thinking again, not imagined, I’ve been there to see it. A moment imprinted on my brain and I love you for it.
