That brings to mind the saying, "you can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family."

Seeing as I'm now a full-time carer for my 82 year old father, and I haven't seen my sister who lives less than 5 miles away in 20 years. I can attest to that saying being very true! I'm glad you stood up for your little lady! and also for doing your bit to fight fake news. lol
