our Texas will return to the times we hold dear

As for the maga relatives… I went into the long weekend- with like a mantra “behave like you are in a foreign country and respect their ways”. Thankfully nothing became political.

Peace. I am also very softhearted myself.

My sisters passing (at 78 she was 13 years older than me) was expected. But it’s never easy.

I made the memorial video. Excruciating to go through the old photos etc but healing. Defyrevived my fondness of the Texan upbringing.

Sorry if I am over sharing.
