Happy Substack Birthday, Mary! Glad you're on the other side of the move. It's A LOT. This post makes me think of the days following my father's stroke. I had lunch with a friend, scheduled before the stroke, and shared the new with her. I was struck by the collision of this normal lunch on a beautiful day, and the fact that no one around me, except for my friend, knew that my family's world had just been turned upside down. Ever since then, I try to remind myself that most of us are a little bit broken, just doing the best we can on any given day. Kindness goes a long way.

Maria, I didn’t know about your dad. I’m so sorry. What a world-shifting moment.
