Love this piece. Ancestors brought to life, especially bringing women and children’s voices to life.

Very inspiring indeed.

Should be a bumper sticker.

Another beautiful piece April, you write the way of your ancestors so exquisitely.

I relate so much to your grandmother’s diary entry. It’s very similar to some of mine, written so many years later. I love this!
