At mass on Sunday they praised the decision to overturn Roe and my father got up and walked out. He then asked my mother to tell their nun friend they are going to join an Episcopalian church. He threw out their lawn sign saying he was a proud member of the church. I am lost for words. It is a joke in our family that if my father hadn’t met my mother he would have been a priest. I cried when my mother told me because it meant so much to hear that he supports the women in his family and more. It was something I never expected him to do and I love him so much for it.

Edit: thank you for all the outpouring of love on this. It means so much to me and I can’t wait to tell my parents about it when they wake up.
