Janelle Brown Lets Go
Undeniably, this year has been an emotional rollercoaster for Janelle Brown. Many fans have cheered her on as she finally left Kody Brown along with Meri and Christine‘s exit.
Although each of the women is finding their footing after ending the plural marriage, Janelle is proving history doesn’t define her.
She is letting go of the past and trudging forward. But she certainly appreciates many of the beautiful moments that have occurred in their family over the years.
Having six children with Kody was a blessing for her. And she has enjoyed seeing them grow. However, in March, Janelle faced the horrific tragedy of burying her 25-year-old son, Garrison Brown.
Although she asks herself difficult questions about his passing, she always comes back to knowing she loved him dearly and always will. Now, she is sharing the bittersweet pain of looking back.
