Cheesemonger, co-oper, sometimes writer
Been writing about the loss of the love of my life here: https://www.patreon.com/Gordonzola
It's a patreon but all grief posts are public.
"The one positive thing I can say about the pandemic is that I literally couldn’t have spent more time with Laurie in the last years of her life..."
"Laurie’s birthday is today. As with pretty much every adoptee, her birthday was historically a painful day. She let me know early on that if I was going to celebrate her birthday, I had to commit."
"She connected with these adoption traumas and saw them as a way of feeling solidarity with others rather than competing for meager resources. Her human rights – the right of knowing who you are and where you come from – were violated at birth and the violation encoded into law. Adoptees are usually gaslighted from birth, told to be grateful for being abandoned, and treated as a dirty secrets."
New post about Laurie on my patreon. It's griefy.
If you know me irl, you know that the love of my life - Laurie Jones Neighbors -- died in November. I am working through grief by writing longer pieces over on my patreon. Laurie posts are public.
