I was terribly moved by Brian Palmer’s letter, not only by the body of work he brings to the breastfeeding roundtable, but by his passion and commitment to the field and to the global family. Certainly this is the passion which moved the founding mothers of La Leche League, the grandmothers (and grandfathers) of lactation, and continues to move so many of us today. Some of us on this list may be able to put Dr. Palmer’s work and tools to superb use. Others of us may know just the hands to receive these tools. Please note we are encouraged to pass his letter on, and continue his work. I hope each of us will reach the end of her life’s work with the satisfaction expressed here. I hope it revives fires in our hearts as mothers, as fathers, and as breastfeeding advocates, however sleepless! I am reminded of the women and men I admire whose great lives were approached one day at a time. Each of us has a gift to give the world. How wonderful to give it mindfully.
