Post on Substack please read

Hey Keep Going family,

I need to share something with you all today because you've been walking this journey with me. You've been here through the court dates, the phone calls that didn't get answered, the waiting, the hope, and the heartbreak.

I just published something on my Substack that I've been carrying for a long time.

It's a letter to my kids.

They won't read it now. Maybe not for years. But one day—when they're old enough, when they start asking questions, when they search for me—this will be waiting for them.

The court sees me one way. Their dad tells them a story. But they don't have MY story. They don't know about Jackie, the false positive, why I left New York, or why I came back. They don't know I was 36 the first time I ever did a drug.

So I wrote it all down. Not as an excuse. But as the truth.

Because one day, they'll be ready. And I'll be here—clean, sober, and waiting.

I'm sharing this with you all because you're the ones who've held me up when I wanted to give up. You're the ones who remind me to keep going when the judge says no. You're the ones who understand what it's like to fight for something invisible and believe anyway.

If you're fighting for your kids too—if you're loving them from a distance, waiting for them to be ready, showing up even when they don't answer—I see you. And you're not alone.

Thank you for being my people. Thank you for witnessing this with me.

I love you all. 💙

—Lynn

P.S. I made 30 new bracelets this week. If you need one, DM me. We're all going through something we need to keep going to get through.
