My mum

[ArraDreaming]

Anyone who knows me well knows there is a huge gap in my knowledge around my mum, where she came from, her mob, her connection to culture. 
I have known from dad but not my mum. My mum was stolen and thats all I know. 
She may have been disconnected from her mob but that doesn’t mean she didn’t have one ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have never known much about her she was present in my life but even after she died in 2022 all the peices have been up to me to find and link together. A lot of things I wasn’t sure if they were falsified or real.
I connected with an Aunty about a year ago… we don’t message all that often but we do talk. 
Tonight I found out so much about my dear Mum and the mob her and her sisters a part of. I’m angry for what got taken from her but I feel lighter for being aware of it too. 
A gaping whole in my life I thought I would never fill. A half of me I never thought i would receive the answers to. Thats an huge part of my identity that I have never had access to. 
💜

I don’t know her full story and that’s something only she can hold but the other side of my heart is full with an answer now to where she belonged ✨💟💟

Thank you so much for sharing @ArraDreaming 

Your mum, like us, has her own story.

Life is a journey. There is so much we don't know and maybe never know, but it's important that we cling on to what we have now and focus on that which is within our reach and control.

So proud of you. And even though your mum is not here in person, I'm KNOW she is proud of you. 

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

The weight of not knowing @tyme
I didn’t even know it was there now its gone
I cried mate @tyme
The significance of just knowing where she came from

[ArraDreaming]

When I am ready I will share but not right now
That’s a whole part of my culture I didnt know about @tyme

[ArraDreaming]

So much can come from this including honouring mum the way she deserves 💟

I'm on leave tomorrow, but I'll see you on Sunday.
