So many things about this essay. It’s a strangely complex thing to lose a related someone you didn’t love…Thanks for making me laugh while you walked us through it. And can we talk about Kate Spade glasses? I was recently in the waiting room with the glasses, looking to replace the current KS pair I’ve been wearing since the pandemic (also don’t relate to the brand). The glasses guy finally brought over a pair that looked good. Yup, KS. He said, “Yeah. For some reason, people who wear Kate Spade glasses often stick with the line.” Had to share… the universality of your essay goes farther than you think!

Loved it. Very funny. I can’t subscribe because I’m a poor old broad. BTW, how did your uncle’s DNA analysis turn out?
OMG! Love this essay! I would subscribe but my current financial situation is barely a situation...
Love the voice and the subtle humor. Well done!
Now this is a voice I can swoon over. More honest than snark like some mean writers I know. 😉
I was looking forward to the report, too. And I would say there’s a certain dry tone in this and she hits it spot on every time.
So funny.
As someone with a very complicated family history, I felt this one. Thank you for sharing.
Nice essay. And a tribute of sorts..
Fantastic essay! One of the best I've read.
