First We Feel, Then We Fall

thats all everyone! i did not intend the first two pages to continue as long as it should, but here we are xD im sorry i had to end it soon, I had so much fun with this lil series🥰 thank you for yalls enthusiasm and tysm for reading!💖

See that picture above? That’s a close up of my great grandmother’s immigration papers when she first came to the US back in the early 20th century.
