The #NationalDaughtersDay posts make me laugh, but they make me cry too. Although I have no living children, I would have had four Sons if any had lived.
I love seeing all my Nieces thriving and shining. One of my eldest is a college grad now, working in film/tv even in "covid"

I got to "see" 2 of my other nieces today on Zoom. My @j2trippy is a college graduate, successful in music, & opening an art gallery soon. PRAISE HER. Her younger Sis @graceandakira has a line of books, a book club & today told me "I've been working on my beats in Garage Band".
My eldest Niece by Blood, Kat, is at NYU now. I don't see my blood family often at all, but I'm glad the generational curses are broken and that she is getting access to all the resources I was denied growing up. The sky is the limit to what she can do. I'm not a wife or mom ...
but the closest I have to being either is helping a lot of my comrades, some of them very close to me personally, raise their daughters up in small ways. It means a lot to me that when it is time to learn to cook or talk about their futures in education or career, they come 2 me.
