Brave Little Gerda Knows More Now

[Gerda]

sjohn -- did it!

Hello Gerda. I may not have commented much, but I have been following your thread. I am happy you found a lawyer and I hope that he helps. You have gone through so much. You deserve some good to come out of all your hard work. Thank you for sharing your story. I will miss seeing you out here. I know you will walk the light and get through it. I’m here cheering you on!

Thank you, Elbereth! That means a lot, thank you for following my story and I hope that all goes very well for you, and I'm sorry I have not been posting on your thread or keeping up. I hope you are doing okay.

Job, thank you so much for stopping by and for the three cheers! You are my MLC auntie/mom/guru, so it is always wonderful to hear from you, and even better when you see something in a positive light, since you've seen it all. I send you lots of love and if I am ever going to be near you in MD I will holler.

DnJ, just as you always say, the MLCer will do the work for us, we need not worry. D13 is already starting to limit or cancel visits, she is getting her strength back. She is really really mean to me, and I know what you are saying about that but you have also 2x4'd me on letting them be mean to me, so you understand it's always a balancing act. Overall though I count myself lucky to get to see them everyday, to be the one who is there for them and supports them mentally, financially, spiritually, academically, legally, etc., even if they don't understand or appreciate it (yet)! Far worse would be to be the one who hurt them and who ended up missing everything, I get to see it all, even though some of it is not very nice. About the plaque -- yes, carved and stained and hung on the wall. A reminder of all you are and all you radiate and hopefully also a reminder of one brave little Gerda who stood witness!
