Wow, Alex. This is so vulnerable, beautiful, and deeply relatable. I hope the act of writing and sharing this was as powerful for you as reading it was for me. It opened something in me, allowing me to face some of the parts I usually try to hide.

It truly feels like you are letting us in and allowing real connection to your heart. You deserve love, acceptance, and forgiveness, always. Thank you for sharing this honest and powerful glimpse into your life. I wish I could have met your mom, but I feel like I’m getting to know her through you. Love you, my friend.

I’m so impressed with this. Grief is always interesting to me because it is underlying so many emotions. It can contort so much of our lives, you can think that you’ve dealt with it and then it takes you out by the knees. I have been impressed with you since you were a kids but one thing I know is you have no blame for your mom’s experience because you were there and you did 10X the caretaking that the next 100 people do in your situation. ❤️🌹☮️
