An amazing woman, Amy Coney Barrett

I knew a lot of amazing women when I was growing up. My grandmothers and aunts (Bessie, Leanor, Marian, Gladys, Lois, Dorothy, Muriel, Mary) mothers of friends (Esther, Millie, Rita, Rosalie, Ada, Hazel, Lois, Vivian and others with faces in my memory, but not their names). School teachers, nurses, businesses owners, farmers) and the mothers who were there for us when we burst through the door after school. And, of course, my own mom, the brightest star in my galaxy of women. But I don't think we ever imagined such a talented jurist, a woman on the Supreme Court, mother of 7, like Amy Coney Barrett. I'm glad I lived long enough to see it.
