“Dear Lady Bird, when I got pregnant with you, it was a miracle. I was older. I was almost forty two and we had Miguel and it seemed like it would never happen - and then you arrived. I loved you without knowing you, I loved you when you were just barely an idea; when you arrived at 7pm (after twelve hours of labor), I recognized you. I knew that you were my girl.

Maybe I was jealous, I don’t know anymore. People tell me we’re (…), but I tell them no (…) so beautiful & brilliant (…)”
