two steps forward, one step back

This is one of the older blog posts that I wrote the summer of 2019. Our daughter had divulged her trans-ID to me a few months previous and I’d been actively working on doing whatever I could to keep my family connected. It had been a really interesting year or so (more about this year in Coming Home.)

I know that’s typically the other way around, but I switched the saying on purpose. I do a monthly written reflection, usually the last weekend of each month, but I forgot to do it this past weekend so I completed the task this morning.

I was reflecting on my familial relationships which are always a primary focus of my energy and these reflections. Don’t get me wrong—I’m no perfect mother or wife!
