First - YES about the Barbie film and about Allan. I loved the movie and I'm taking my 11 year old daughter to see it tomorrow and I can't wait to see what she thinks of it.

Second- YOU ARE COUSINS WITH MY FAVORITE CROP ARTIST OF ALL TIME?! Mind blown. I love, love, love your cousin M., she is one of my favorite people ever. The world is so small sometimes!

I love this revelation and I love that she texted me a few minutes after I sent this saying you learnt this when seeing her photo in this. We are a truly wild bunch and she's immensely talented. We got to see her latest crop art being made yesterday.

Such great points in #1! I'll be sharing. (I haven't seen the Barbie movie yet, but I *did get to hear my 20 and 22 yr old sons discussing it, and that was interesting). Re #4: What a great, insightful comment from your son!

Thank you for #6, My brother would be turning 53 in a few days, but he died last fall. You described the unpredictable, non-linear process of grief so well. I've lost other loved ones years ago, and what you said is so true. And also so true — there is no greater loss than a parent losing a child.

I always forget how easy it is for all of us to be together until we're together. I guess that's what it means to find your people.

Also, Allan is the best.
