Week 7, Title: I'm from a mother...

[swirlsofblue]

I’m from a mother who hugged me every night before bed,
I’m from a mother who waved a knife at me and threatened to cut me to pieces,
I’m from a father who quit smoking when I was one,
I’m from a father who died of lung cancer when I was twenty three.

*HUGS* Oh, J!!! This is so complex an opening of your heart. Your cadence is perfect, the this-then-that approach works...but it's so painful and so very true and recognizable.

!!!BRAVA!!!

*Hugs back* Thank you, so glad you liked my approach :).

There's something to be said for opening your heart.

Oh my gosh.
This is so powerful. I think it hits especially hard because you've rarely used this format. It's so good.
