Daily Prompt 3/24/23
Oh, there are so many things to choose from, but I’m going to go with something that I think is almost universally applicable: Most people don’t understand a damn thing about anything until it actually happens to them.

Honoring Grandmothers
As a kid, I loved my birthday up until I was about 8 or 9. I can’t exactly explain what happened, but I think it had to do with being old enough to realize what was going on. Like I was suddenly aware of how I was being treated. My birthday became a day I…
