She desperately wanted children but she had severe endometriosis and a hysterectomy. She was one of the first celebrities to speak openly about endometriosis in the 80s

And she took the pain from her infertility to create women’s health clinics in rural areas so others wouldn’t have to deal with that loss too.

As a child free woman, she’s such an inspiration! I love kids and want them to succeed but I don’t want any of my own

She has said that her Daddy was illiterate, being born into Appalachian poverty when boys went to work not school. So she wanted to make sure as many kids as she could find had books in their hands.

As someone battling infertility she’s just the ultimate inspiration that having children doesn’t define you. How you treat others will always be your legacy 😭

The high school dropout rate in her hometown was 34% in the 90’s, so she started a program that dropped that rate all the way down to 6%. It’s still close to 8% today. That woman changed lives for multiple generations of people

She was an AMAZING human! Funny, kind, beautiful, generous, loving. All 3 of my kids were enrolled in The Imaginary Library, they got a book EVERY MONTH until they turned 5! Was so special for them! Celebrity dea+hs don’t usually get to me…but, Dolly, ooo, this one hurts.

I've seen countless clips from interviews where she said that she realized being a mom wasn't in the cards that she'd just be everybody's mom & in one interview jokingly called herself the Dolly Mama

She was the third out of 12 children. I’m sure she raised plenty of them.

She was an invisible producer on Buffy the vampire slayer. So she had a direct hand in empowering everyone who watched it.

I saw an interview with her where she talks about how she wanted kids, but for different reasons at different times it never happened, but she said that she guesses we are all her kids now and she called herself the Dolly Mama. 🥰🥰 love her!!
