This made me tear up. You had so much impact on me at 16/17 when you taught to cook. Still today you are inspiring me and bringing me joy. I loved reading this, it made me feel like I got to reconnect a bit! Missing you!

Congrats on the release of what is going to be a phenomenal love letter to my inbox every time I get it. I am so excited for you (and for me that I get to receive it). This is just beautifully written, with so much loving detail.

Your mom married her first love after divorce. That’s so profound. I’m perplexed and amused by the “true, never-ending love” concept. It’s amazing to me. It’s something that can’t be broken.
