Isn’t it curious how a smell, place, object can transport us to a memory? Sorry it was a disturbing one—and remember: we learn and focus on the central character in the memoir and how you felt, what you thought….thanks for entrusting us with them.
It must have been very confusing as a young girl why your mom couldn’t be more helpful and I’m glad you received an apology….we all make some horrible mistakes as parents.
Glad you responded to prompt! 💓🫶🏽
