And leave us not forget your mom, either. Strong, fabulous women, all of you.<br /><br />Your Little League triumph may have happened a long time ago, but the example you set back then thanks to Judge Pressler echoes through the ages and inspires us today. Thank you for remembering her and sharing the poignant tale of how her fateful decision made such a glorious difference in your life.
