Your comment about shorts and not doing activities because of not having clothes you feel good in really struck home with me. My mother is plus-size and never did any activities with us that required wearing something other than jeans and a long sleeve woven shirt because of how self-conscious she was. Way to feel empowered and empower your daughter, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-instead-of-a-leather-coat---thanks-to-ylf/page/2#post-1528696 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 12:34:40 +0000 Meredith 1528696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful story.

It's like a parable but sweetly, gently, and with real life details. It reminded me of when my girls were young and I was single and some of it was very challenging but some of it was deeply good. Thank you frannieb, that was great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-instead-of-a-leather-coat---thanks-to-ylf#post-1528094 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 16:30:08 +0000 Staysfit 1528094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy for you!
