This is so beautiful as usual. I completely relate to how you described the relationship with the person you care about very much. It was so perfect described. Roots have been so in my mind lately and making their way into my writings as well.

And what you’re doing for your granddaughters is so amazing.

Ah, thank you. I almost cut that part. What's the relevance? It's deeply relevant, to me and others and it's healthy for me to acknowledge it. I'm glad it touched you! As for the granddaughters ❤ and oof.

"And I will give it a new narrator and the chance to have a different ending." THIS piece is so raw and succinct and touching me and can only imagine your ancestral weaving that's in the oven just warming up with your touches of deliciousness and truth. This piece supported my inner space of where i'm at in my process :) xo thank you

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I feel raw, my own shock is palpable--and fading. But I'm not "bleeding", not ink or energy. This is a new "place" for me....powerful. I'm touched that it resonates.
