The second weโre not being photographed, we revert to slobbery with alarming ease.โ

Elizabeth gleefully confirmed, โYes, weโre very close. Thank goodness, because itโs really just the two of us. Of course, heโs left me streets behind, because heโs young and knows everything, but otherwise, we have the same sensibility, which is great.”
Damian shows his mother support in all areas, “Weโve got each otherโs backs, always,” Elizabeth said appreciatively. As noted, his support for her breast cancer advocacy has gone on since he was little. “It’s been part of Damian’s life ever since he could walk and talk, to be honest,” Elizabeth stated.
The endearing son honors her efforts by wearing a pink tie. “He’d love to be involved more, he’s come with me before to various events, and now that COVID-19 is over, I’d be delighted if he’d help me again, during the month of October particularly,โ Elizabeth revealed. “He knows pretty much as much as I know about the disease and about the things we are learning through scientists.โ
