Posthumous 17th Birthday

Greetings,

Thursday, August 27^th is Constance's posthumous 17^th birthday. In honor of that day I am posting this note to express my gratitude, for:

1. getting to be her and her half-sister's mom,

2. those that loved her during her life,

3. and everyone who has remembered her since her passing. Thank you!

If we have lost touch over the years, I am sorry. From repeated hacking taking me offline and to different accounts, the burden/boredom/compassion fatigue of listening to me moan, or whatever my part was in us not connecting, I apologize. Community is critical for surviving challenging times. If you need me, I am here.

In gratitude,

Rachelle Jervis, Mom
