This is heartfelt and lovely. I can so relate to this, "trying to help him and my mom to understand bills, legal policies, and opaque social interactions." But now I realize, after living in SE Asia for 15 years, how frustrated and embarrassed my mom must have been to ask her child to read letters and ask for help.
Happy to meet you, Lani. Thank you for your insight and being willing to share some of the flip side to your courageous life. Our mothers had to transcend and harbor so much. Glad to be on this journey of realization with you 🤍
I wish I had this foresight with my dad. You're doing beautifully, curating your dad's person care card. Now I'm inspired to do the same for those who I still can. It won't always be easy, and there may be many pushes needed, but it's worth it! ❤️
Lovely to connect, Rachel! What you said fills me with such joy, you have no idea. You’ve got this! If you’re willing, would love to hear what you realize in the process 🪴💌

I will try to report back. For now thinking of starting with my mum already illicit a pulling back respond. I guess I may have to push harder 😅
Kat, this was beautiful and bittersweet. I relate so much.
