Dear family,

As Gramma and I are about to begin on our adventure of many potential surprises and endless unknowns, I find myself feeling very fortunate to be able to spend this time, this road trip, with my mom. We will have a whole month of moments to reminisce about, reflect upon and recall over the coming years.

I know that I will miss you all terribly over the days and weeks to come. And I will be absent from your lives for a month. I think about all of the nuances and moments for which I will not be present. Instead, during the month I'm away, I will be creating and experiencing moments in my own life and sharing many of those with my own mother. I am truly thankful.


With much love, gratitude and appreciation.
