My daughter gifted me with a Hear Your Story book for Mother's Day. I'm determined to complete the prompts and extra pages to expound, as one does, by her birthday (a milestone one) in five weeks. My initial thought was that this was an easy assignment, which is why I didn't start right away.
It has proven to be anything but.
It wasn't long before I realized I hadn't said (a lot) out loud.
Also, I realized that there were limbs of the family that are completely unknown to me and likely to remain so.
Still, I'm happy to fill in these pages for her. I hope she follows the nuggets to this space and perhaps whatever journals I still have on paper at the end, but she is not likely to do that. It will be okay, she'll discover what may offer comfort, I trust.
