read this with my heart in my belly. the longing and searching for the connections to her. and the parallels to the intentionality in how you're parenting. Love your deep soul.

Oh man this brought tears to my eyes. So powerful. I'm very sentimental and keep so much stuff so I'm hopeful one day my girls will enjoy looking back at it. Also I am the same as you when tackling a big task! So enthusiastic, such a procrastinator, so inefficient and yes, always looking for the right playlist. Love this Sonya!!

So beautifully written and so precisely accurate. How she wrote our names, how she wrote "love you"😭 it's extremely meaningful to see her writing let alone the words to us. ❤️

Saw this and thought “today is a good day to cry into my salad bowl.” As always, your attention to the small things point my attention to the big things.

She had such beautiful handwriting—it’s like calligraphy. And it looks like you’ve inherited that from her. Thank you for sharing.

(You also do an amazing job of capturing the never-ending task of keeping up with the paperwork that a house full of children brings…!)
