It is good to hear your perspective on how the world changed. I remember going through the stages of grief. denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance

Thanks, D Dub. There was so much happening at once--like you said, stages of grief. It was a tsunami. I wanted to capture it somehow. Thanks again for dropping by.

Good chronicle. Mine is all buried in my stack. We are all in quite a journey. Sometimes we choose the time sometimes it chooses us.

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking it out. I think this is the first comment by an individual who is not my family or friend. So it really means something, as I’m still new to substack. I’m gonna go check out your stuff right now.

Beware. It has been a long journey. But thanks. Everyone but most of my family reads my stack. I began with no readers but my husband and son. Funny how things work.

Holy cow, KW. Tell me what to read first, if you will. I would like to know which post you would direct a new reader to. Thank you so much.

Difficult question to answer. I would say the most recent week and back to the first of January 2021. Too much for me to read. Maybe someday I can collate it. Thanks for your interest.

I love your writing Molly. It brought me back to a time in my life when I was happy, yet scared to death. You’re right….things will never be the same again. I was also reminded of a poster that hung on my brother’s bedroom wall, when I was a young man of 13-14 years. It read….

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I shall fear no evil, for I am the meanest son of a bitch in the valley”. It has probably been since then, that I have feared anything in life…..Except for those lit up bubbles (now lit up light bars) on the top of a cop car. Those things still scare the fuck out of me!!! LOVE ❤️

Oh my goodness, Brian. Thank you so much for reading it and replying. I love the "meanest son of a bitch in the valley of death" ethos. Stay happy and free on a fucked up planet. The word on the street is that we signed up for this, so we'd better do our best. All ❤️ all the time. p.s. stayed tuned for chapter 2 next week--plus six more after that. All about the month of March 2020.
