This was a shocking, horrifying and yet beautiful story of love between three generations of women, and how they took care of each other. Thank you.💕
Congratulations on your success. You deserve it. And here’s to the patina.
Thank you so much for sharing. Lots of feelings and food for thought, but I just have to say that your grandmother sounds like an absolute boss.
She was the ultimate ❤️
I can also attest ❤️

Gutsy lady to share your beautiful tragic story. Thank you!
This is beautiful. Thank you.
I know exactly what you're going through. A month after having twins my mother had a massive stroke.
So I was taking care of newborn twins and overseeing my mom. My father tried but the majority of her care fell to me.
She lasted 7 years.
My kids are 26 now and I wonder how I did it all.
But my mom inspired my vintage business!
I’m so sorry to hear that. I am glad you are taking care of yourself ❤️
I also wanted to thank you for such great content !
Incredibly kind of you! Means so much to me.
A beautiful piece. Moving and inspiring. (You’re not just good at finding treasure. You’re a wonderful writer too.) With love from the UK. X
Thank you Katie I really really needed this today
