💖 Lineage & Location 💖

Until very recently I never knew that my genetic grandmother had moved to Chicago, fell in love, and started a family. Prior to all of that she was certainly not in Chicago but somewhere entirely different, in a hospital, where she had to give my mother up for adoption.

Some decades later the story will unfold as her granddaughter moves to the same city, with a similar set of eyes, looking towards a new direction and renewed set of goals.
