Final Remarks: Samurai Woman

So what's the point of all these Framing Stories? Well, for us, they're the stories that we're telling to set the tone for Peri to give her "handles" on what this "Woman of Both Hands" ideal actually looks like "with skin on": A Warrior, a Servant, a Queen, a Saint and a Mother/Wife. To be sure, these are all lofty expectations, but what more could we hope for as she walks through life? And the truth is, we believe in her. We believe that she can be any and all of those things as she grows, and are committed to being there beside her as she does so.
