Resharing because this is one of my favorite pieces I’ve written this year. Whether you’re a Grinch or not, I hope you enjoy it. 🎄

We’ve been showing our kids Rob Reiner movies over the past few years and they have all been hits. My youngest in particular has connected deeply with his work and counts STAND BY ME as his favorite movie.
I am just so devastated by the news but grateful for the gifts he gave us.
