This is beautifully written and sad. On this Father’s Day let’s celebrate the father figures and substitutes who have given us unconditional love and joy.
Petra that was beautiful to read. This was a truly artful piece of writing. I felt like I was with you through every step. You are a paragon of grace and strength.
It must have been so frustrating (and painful) that your mother wouldn’t tell you who your father was. Something so fundamental. Just dropping clues like that. You’ve told this so well, Petra, I was riveted. I’m sorry you were so messed around, though.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Wendy. Yes, it was extremely frustrating and painful. Torturous, I might add. These are the sorts of fundamental things that take a lifetime to overcome. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, though, and here I am! 🦁
