So glad that you and Eli enjoyed your visit to Fresno and your roots! I think it’s an especially good experience for Eli to see and learn firsthand some of his Mama’s family history. I’m really happy the breakfast with your father & stepmother was pleasant and that Eli got to meet his Grandpa; good for you as well. Having grown up much differently, I feel sad for the trauma you experienced and at the same time know that despite it, you’ve grown into the kind, wonderful woman you are today.
I can relate to the fear of getting a call that a family member has been found dead; it’s happened to me twice, both due to overdoses. First my sister and years later her oldest of two sons. I also appreciated you speaking about the unseen grieving for loved ones still alive. For years I carried it for my sister and still grieve for a child I co-parented for nine years from pregnancy until 8/20/23. She’ll be 31 on 5/4. Long story that maybe we can commiserate about someday. I can’t be the only one who’s experienced parental alienation. Please give my condolences to Michelle for her loss. 💔 I never see her on Twitter anymore.
Good luck with the house search today; Molly will help you find a perfect, temporary home!
Kaye, we have never met but I saw your posts on the former Twitter when Molly was in the hospital and have followed you ever since. I have learned so much from you when it comes to loss and grief as well as love and resilience. Molly’s beautiful spirit is reflected in your face and in your soul and she is with you and cheering you on as you strive to make this world a better place for all! 💖😍😘
