She saves lives now.

I had to tell a lot of strangers about Cora today. It was hard.

At a blogging conference, a natural question is "what's your blog?"

My chest tightened and the first few times I think I squeaked out, "my daughter died."

But, I really wanted to yell out, "my daughter died and now she's saving lives." Maybe, next time, I will.

I jumped on the chance to drive to New York from Indiana, both to meet so many people I admire so much, and to get away.

I like to get away.

I sometimes wish I lived away. But, then, I wouldn't be getting away.

Getting away, I remembered on the drive what's important. Cora. Ben. Ben and Cora. Focusing on them. Sharing Cora's Story, knowing it's not just a story of a baby that died breastfeeding. It's the story of a little person changing the world.

I've heard a few times this week that there were (are?) rumors Cora suffocated. I'm working on getting statistics. I'm a huge breastfeeding advocate. Babies don't die because of their mother's breasts. Their mother's breasts save their lives over and over.

This is one of those drifting posts I just let float along. Like our car floating through the mountains on the interstate. It was a big overwhelming day, but that's not all bad.

I'll try to update more about this trip, the fun Dinner's on Us event, which included the Bloganthropy awards, the BlogHer conference tomorrow, and all in between.

But, for now, just a small update.

Cora saves lives.

Oh, and it's Breastfeeding week (that's not the official title, but it's a week for breastfeeding education). Seriously, like I said before, breastfeeding saves lives, too. Try it!
