I found a matriarch on my dad’s side on Friday March 7 6, 2026, for inspiration 
.
Apparently she was a grim old bird and all the men around were terrified of her. I would have liked her. Though it sounds like everyone feared her.
My dad’s oldest sister is probably the most famous person in our immediate family. She was an animal geneticist and an order of Canada awardee.
She was kind of a role model and always encouraged me to pursue science. Strange to think now that I have skipped a generation back to find a female role model more fitting for our regressive times..
It kinda fits..the fall of Roe v Wade surprised me less than most given what I saw bts.
