Thanks, Mary Anne.

I somehow knew a mom, and a librarian who works with kids, would get it loud and clear on all channels.

Thank God we are seeing more women, and men, who are beginning to understand that creating a human being and the associated legacies into the future, is not an inferior calling to moving papers around in a cubicle. How many people hold their Most Valuable Employee or Executive Performance awards close to them on their deathbeds?

If most of us disappeared from our jobs in a puff of purple smoke, we would be replaced in a week. The loss of a loving grandma leaves a hole in people's lives that would swallow an aircraft carrier. I know.

And for the record, as long as Grandma is being Grandma to her grandchildren, it makes no difference if she's a fat little lady who makes cookies or someone who rides motorcycles in races. The stereotypes are the least of the issue.
