I love this, Kaia. I teared up while reading about your Gramps and Gram, and I love the practice of creating lists to conjure images of people you love. What fun. Here's my list of my boys: wooden swords, baseball gloves, graphic novels, blue and black crocs, red and yellow bike helmets, our two kitty cats, our old boy Moose, Cap'n Crunch cereal, root beer floats, rock skipping, Greek mythology, MN Vikings gear, and the piano. xo

Katie, thank you so much. I love your list for your boys. After reading it, I feel like I have such a good sense of who they are and what makes them sing and zing and flourish. They’re lucky to have you 💗 as you are lucky to have them. Thank you for reading and for sharing your list!
