Ah, Nan, this piece - this piece! I can't tell you how many times I gasped and groaned aloud with recognition. I wanted to underline every other sentence. Phew. I'm going to have to sit with a lot of these gems for a while. In the meantime, thank you for unabashedly voicing the hard truths here that you've so attentively and lovingly and tenaciously worked to understand on your own journey. I love that you are looking in the mirror and seeing YOU!

My single mother, your grandmother was a person who sincerely cared about people. She never admitted she was lonely. People of all ages sought her out for her wise words. That was her way to thank them for their trust in her and ease her loneliness, I imagine now. She taught me by example to not expect anything in return for doing good deeds. It’s never too late to grow as an authentic giving adult. ❣️
