I absolutely love this! I might steal this format (crediting you and linking to you of course) if that's okay.

I enjoyed reading this, Alexis, and congratulations on the Huff Post piece! I just read it. It’s a great piece. You describe so well the shifting emotions of the whole process of caring for your mom and making the move happen. As my parents get older, my brother and I often wonder what’s to come. Thanks for writing that.

Thanks, Joanna! Your writing course contributed to my success! ❤️ The role reversal of parenting your parents is tricky… lmk if you ever have any questions!

Thank you! ❤️ And I’m glad that my course was part of your “writing journey.” I love it when former students branch out into new publishing directions! Yay for achieving publishing goals!
