this was sent me to be posted on my breastfeeding stories webpage, and I
thought you all might enjoy it:

I don't have children of my own yet but I still have a story for you.  Two
weeks after I was born my mother was hospitalize and in 1973 they didn't
think I should go with my mother so that she could feed me.  Well my father
took matters into his own hand and I was taken to the La Leche League near
our home in Virginia.  I have always marveled at the love these women
showed me by giving me milk. After my mother got out of the hospital I
continued to be feed by these women for six full months.  What love I was
given by women that didn't know me, my mother, or my father.  So to all the
women who chose this good for you and remember to share.
thankfully,
Rachel
