After I posted an article describing an ill family member and the political rift in my family, many of you reached out to me to tell me to mend some fences. I listened.
After Trump won in 2016, I got into a serious argument with one of my sisters about how one of my nieces voted third party and I called her vote stupid in light of what Trump was and, even more clearly now, is.
That sister died unexpectedly five months later. I had not spoken to or communicated with her since my FB posts that started the tension.
I will always regret not reconnecting. I was very angry, so never a great idea to engage in political disagreements in that emotional state.
Hope the time with family brings peace & love... or, at the very least, a pleasant buzz! Enjoy the time with @mamasreallyrule, give her my best regards, and have a SAFE trip! <3
I am so happy to read that you will spend time with your family. I am tearing up over it! Wish I could share the vodka watermelon! Happy Mother's Day to your mom and family!
Love, from the backward state of Florida! (There are a few of us left with brains)
I love this vulnerability and grace. Healing is a beautiful journey. 💜💜
I love you. Thanks.

You are doing the right thing.
