Thanks so much, Tracie, for reading and for saying so. Iโm glad this piece is resonating with people.
๐ I feel this. I know itโs said to write like theyโre all dead but I donโt know anyone who does that.
Thank you, Claudia!
Thank you, Bronwen ๐
I am also selective in what I publish and what published pieces I show to people. I have curated my "works" page on my web site so if certain people stumble upon it, they won't find themselves there.
It's such a big issue, I was relieved & happy to see it tackled. We don't talk about it. That was a gift your dad gave you. I do write in my journals, but publishing I am more careful. I think you could write a story about finding those letters to your mom. Incredible expectations a mother carries.
Thank you so much for reading and sharing!
Thank you, Timothy!
