Tell Us about a Personal Win.

I have written more Sentinel fic in 2023, than I ever have before. It’s because I joined Fandom Empire and I’ve been going wild since. So I’m happy about that.

A very personal win for me is we adopted our granddaughter 10 years ago. She is getting ready to graduate in May and off she will go to college. She’s taking IT courses and we are so proud of her. She turned into a lovely young lady. We’re very grateful to her parents who saw they weren’t capable of raising her and handed her over to us at 8 years old. Sad story but she persevered and is doing everything she had wanted to. It’s going to be a proud moment for us all. This is a picture of Sam.

This is such a great post.

TS was one of my first fandoms and while I've been out of it for a long time, it feels like I've seen your name around for a long time now. So it's great you're still enjoying writing for the show <3

And that's such a wonderful personal win. You should be proud, your granddaughter sounds like she's a fantastic person.

Sam is lovely. You should be proud for stepping-up and raising her. I was adopted as an infant, I don't think parents who adopt get near the credit they deserve.

Kudos on all the Sentinel fic, and Uber-Kudos for giving your granddaughter a better chance in life! \o/

My aunt did the same for her grandson, and it made all the difference. Not easy, for sure, but so worthwhile. Congrats to all of you!

Congrats on 2023 being your biggest year for Sentinel fic! It's great that you're having having fun with the writing.

Pretty girl. I like her hair color. My utmost respect to all the grandparents who step up when they were needed.

Congrats on the writing, that's wonderful.

And WHOO! So much congrats for your lovely granddaughter and all the work that goes into raising a child. And good for her parents too - that is a hard, hard thing to admit you can't do it and give a child up to someone else's care so they can have a better life. So amazing - so happy for you!
