What a delicious gift, this essay! I too, now 44, was marked by this film. I go back to it, every few years to find it even more beautiful and haunting than the last time.

I breastfed my daughter until she was 3.25 years and she is now 16. She clearly remembers breastfeeding and is clearly proud of my commitment to her nurruring and has fond feelings about it. No big deal. It is part of her childhood, something we shared, like cosleeping until 6.
