Let's keep politics out of this. If you can't understand or appreciate the struggles this woman overcame then I don't know what to say to you. She went through a period of her life where she did not utter a word for years. Years!!!!!! From a life of poverty and low self worth to becoming one of the most respected and prolific writers of our time is an amazing accomplishment.

It really was. We talked about it yesterday at dinner and he was reflective of that meeting. I was pleasantly surprised by that since, now that he is a teen, cultural icons don't seem to phase him. I guess since he met her he was able to connect more. Which added to the surprise because taking him to that event was like pulling teeth .
