Oh I love reading your pieces! I get excited when I see them arrive in my inbox. You successfully articulate so many abstract and nebulous feelings/emotions regarding my own experience as a mother, and I appreciate arm-chair joining you as you parent your youngest! What a gift to get so many insights as to how he teaches you so much about being in the world.

Go you!

Really either. Or how about a book with tiny illustrations of all your short stories.

Delightful and insightful as usual. Kids can be mean albeit blissfully unaware. Anyway, a 6yo opinion doesn't tend to pull much weight.
