Lincoln’s Women • SARAH LINCOLN GRIGSBY

“[Sarah] was a woman of extraordinary mind. Her good-humored laugh I can hear now, is as fresh in my mind as if it were yesterday. She could, like her brother, meet & greet a person with the kindest greeting in the world, make you easy at the touch of a word, an intellectual and intelligent woman.” Nathaniel Grigsby • “They [Sarah and Abraham] were close companions and were a great deal alike in temperament.” J.W. Lamar, a neighbor

Sarah Lincoln was born on February 10, 1807 in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. She was joined by a baby brother, Abraham, two years later. Though their family was extremely poor and lived in a single-room log cabin, the Lincoln children did sporadically attend school. Sarah’s mother Nancy, who was remembered an intelligent and deeply religious woman, ensured that both of them were literate. She also taught her daughter essential homemaking skills such as spinning wool and open-hearth cooking. Friends and neighbors considered Sarah a bright, industrious, very sweet girl. But when Nancy Lincoln fell ill and died, eleven-year-old Sarah was left to assume her many responsibilities as mistress of the house. She struggled to keep herself and her little brother fed and clothed until her father remarried in 1819.

Despite the family’s emotional and economic hardship, Sarah always remained cheerful and kind. She was very close to her brother Abraham. She was “short...and somewhat plump” in sharp contrast to his famously tall, gangly frame, but they shared the same dark hair, grey eyes, and warm laugh. In the late summer of 1826, Sarah married Aaron Grigsby and moved into a cabin a few miles from her family’s home. She became pregnant the following year, but suffered serious complications upon going into labor. A doctor and midwives were summoned too late to save her. Sarah died on January 20, 1828, a few weeks shy of her twenty-first birthday. She was buried cradling her stillborn son in her arms. The death of his beloved sister—a girl whose personality and intellect were so similar to his own and who had been his closest friend and often a surrogate mother—left Abraham, just eighteen, despondent.

Prompt 235

“Mother, I have made a friend.” 

Now don’t get him wrong, Danny was delighted at the idea of Jordan making a friend, he really was. But the last three attempts had been borderline kidnappings, so he wasn’t entirely sure if he should be. Thankfully it doesn’t seem he’s kidnapped this one. Hopefully. 

Not that he wouldn’t be surprised if Dan managed to kidnap a tiny kryptonian, but the kid- Jon apparently- seemed happy enough to be there. Apparently his grandparents lived in the midwest too, and was happy enough to have someone to talk about it. 

Though um, maybe Danny should have checked to see if his parents knew where he’d gone, because he was not expecting a harried-looking superman to suddenly appear at his window.

Happy Birthday, Baizhu!

Good morning. How have you been holding up recently? Any discomfort?

I've prepared a whole range of medicinal foods to help fortify your body, and Qiqi has also gathered some rare herbs for you.

Also, take this herbal bouquet I put together for you. It'll have a calming effect if you put it by your bedside.

If you'd rather not see the flowers wilt away, you may also decoct them. I'll show you how a little later.

I want a fic where Robin is adopted.

The only parents she has ever known are her own and the only time being adopted has ever bothered her was when Amanda St. James made fun of her for it in the third grade. But Robin told her that at least her parents wanted her and were not just stuck with her like Amanda’s parents, “And maybe that’s why your Mom and Dad are so unhappy all the time.”

She got in trouble for making Amanda cry and went back to never thinking about her birthparents. She had no interest in knowing anything about them and it stayed like that until she turned sixteen.

On her sixteenth birthday, her mom gave her a letter written to her by her birthmother. Robin doesn’t read it immediately, but eventually gives in to her own curiosity. She reads it over twice before her mind snags on a sentence, ‘I wanted to give you and your brother a better life…’ … you and your brother…. You and your brother…. You and-

“I have a brother.”

This eats at Robin, especially after her dad’s call to the adoption agency goes nowhere. It eats at her so much that she finally gives in – Fred Benson swears up and down that Nancy Wheeler is the best investigator on the school paper – and asks for help.

Nancy says yes and is maybe a little too invested in finding the truth, but honestly, Robin is having fun and she wants to find her apparent twin. She wants to know about his life. Settle the whole nurture over nature thing.

They hit a lot of walls, a lot of dead ends. They break a few rules and maybe commit a felony. They enlist Jonathan Byers to help and even Eddie Munson at one point because he knows how to pick locks, and it’s all for nothing.

One day when they have everything they’ve found spread out across the Wheeler’s dining room table, Steve comes over to pick up Dustin. He looks down at the whole mess and points at her birth certificate like, “Hey, we were born on the same day.”

I don't know what was going through my head, but instead of Mason (Mabel) having a car like Grunkle Stan does,(s)he uses the golf cart. (It's a stupid concept)

OOOOUGH THIS IS SO SILLY CUTE THANK YOU!! 🥹💥💥💥

IM LOOKING SO HARD AT THIS 💛💛💛

[whateverthought]

I know there's a lot of debate about the Stans' age, and personally I've calculated it as 62, so Shermie would have had to have His Son(Dip+Mab Dad) at 16 and then the twins were born when their parents were 18 or vice versa. To me, I like the thought that Shermie didn't escape Filbrick's bad parenting and got a girl pregnant as a teenager and his son only managed to be slightly better and married the mother of his children only for their marriage to not work out. Bill Cipher referencing Dipper hearing his parents fighting.

It's the consequences of Bad Parenting and Abuse afflicted by this man that's haunting the narrative.
