“Something sacred had just taken place. I felt we’d just experienced a lost ancient ritual of mother-and-daughter bonding. Our love for one another had deepened in a way I would never fully understand. However, there was no doubt that the visual sharing of our sex organs had been a precious gift for us both.” (241)
How great this experience between Betty and Bessy was! I feel like the world would be a better place if you could all enjoy this profound sharing between mothers and daughters. It made me cheer because Betty had the guts to be open and honest with her mother about her life choices and Bessie was respectful and loving to accept it and share her intimacy with her daughter. So beautiful and inspiring!
