This is so beautiful and hits so close to home. I've been meaning to write about my grandma, who died when I was 18. We had a very close relationship when I was very very young, but time and distance opened a chasm between us that I only recently came to regret. What a beautiful promise to fulfill.

I’m curious - when you pulled all the essays together, were you surprised at the length? I know that I often see each piece individually - so to see a culmination of your essays took my breath away! I’m so happy that you were able to give this to your grandma. Projects built on a foundation of love always produce a beautiful result (no matter the size).
