That is the anthem of many of us, growing up with the mixed message of parents doing their best to cope with their own abilities falling short of others' expectations. A powerful poem. Thank you.
Thanks, Sue! Our parents, coming out of a depression, and the trauma of WWII..marrying and having large families, right off the bat. And trying to teach good values , in a world that was quickly losing theirs. All while dealing with their own mental collateral damage. Well, it was a bit much for 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚! ❤️🩹
You were there…it was a wild, lovely, painful ride, that made us all the strong, close-knit, loving, silly and wonderful bunch of “kids” that we are! Thank, Sue! I love you back! ❤️
Poignant and beautiful. Thanks Sharon.
Thank you, Yael!🥰
