Logan, the house you can still find while the interior remains blank is a haunting image, and “I don’t know” may be the most careful sentence in the piece. It allows the unanswered space to remain unanswered while you honor what the house evokes in you today. Becoming a mother gives the little girl in the story another witness now: the adult who can look back with compassion even where memory offers no scene to return to. Grateful for the care with which you held your mother’s young motherhood, your own childhood, and the mystery that still sits between the bricks you recognize and the rooms you cannot.
Your writing is beautiful as always, I’m so sorry you had to go through this ❤️🩹
Thank you Megan for reading!! And me too! It was a hard chapter for sure
Whose house was it???
Are your parents still alive/are you able to ask whose house it was; who watched over you while you waited?
It was like a court house I think! But I will have to ask for more info!!
I definitely would. I have so many questions after reading this. It was like I wanted to get you on the phone! lol
I need to look more into it! Asking my mama tomorrow!!
Tell her Viv needs to know. 🤣
Haha I love this!! We have to figure it out now
🕵🏼♀️
Lmk. I’m so curious. I’m invested.

Thank you for sharing. And I’m so sorry for little Logan 😔❤️🩹 sounds like you had/have Dissociative amnesia…to use the therapeutic term…🫶
Thank you Ravenna for reading! And ooh I will look more into this!🤎
