Hanging up my jersey

Today, I Annetta Mother Smith, hang up my Grosvenor colours, I hang up my Griffin colours, my Harris colours and my Smith colours. I am officially and unofficially retired. If only I could tell you me retiring from the family came with an explosive blowout. No, it came with resignation and overwhelming sadness. I really wanted to love my family. I can be cold hearted all I want but I really wanted to have a connection. I am truly exhausted and am rightly should be in tears. The ramifications of my actions are not lost on me. My children have no family other than my mother. If I told you why I am excommunicating my mothers family you would wonder if I am mad mentally. But i am tired of disappointment. I am tired of you only contact me when you want something. I am tired of putting emotional energy into people who aren’t serving me.

Grace and Courage
