A heartfelt story of love and loss but much more about the strength of vulnerability. The story touched me, it resonated with motherhood and the loss of such things that are precious and few. Weaving in our losses and the love we share with others makes for a rich life fabric - a silken tapestry.
Oh my gosh, that brought me to tears!😭 we haven’t even sent our first off to college yet (he’s a sophomore), but the shift in household dynamics is looming. This is such a gorgeous read. Vulnerable and heartfelt, and so bittersweet…like much of midlife. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Having a high school senior now, you so eloquently put words to my feelings- I struggled to read the text at time through my tears. Thank you for writing this- please share more!
This is absolutely beautiful, Ann. Vunerable, emotionally honest, and oh my , just wait until they marry! I am such a fan of your writing. More please! xx

It touched us as well. I like how you point out the emphasis on vulnerability in the essay.
Beautifully written, beautiful Ann.
Thank you, Heidi!
Loved your story.
Thank you!
Oh, this was just lovely.
Thank you, Wendy.

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Beautiful essay, Ann! (And you've given me hope that someday I'll find my grandmother's pearls that I somehow "lost" in my move 16 years ago)...
Yes--perhaps they will find their way back to you!
Inspiring, riveting, comforting.
Thank you!
