I’m so humbled to be a part of this very special anthology on sibling loss, The Loss of a Lifetime. These beautiful, bittersweet essays shine light into the darkness and help you understand you’re not alone.

I will love and miss my brother Josh until the end of my days. ❤️
“I shared time and space with him that afternoon. Though gritty and ash-covered, new memories have been made.” From Reclaiming Lost Love by Kathryn Leehane Picture of my 40ish year old mom and me and my brother who were in early grade school “Despite our worlds being separated by distance and death, my brother no longer seems like a stranger.” From Reclaiming Lost Love by Kathryn Leehane Book cover for the anthology, The Loss of a Lifetime: Grieving Siblings Share Stories of Love, Loss, and Hope lossofalifetime/book

Hey, @liccardo.house.gov, the crowd started chanting, “Where’s Sam Liccardo?” shortly after I took this picture in San Jose, CA. Thought you might like to know.

Find yourself a Valentine who will track down the lunch box of your childhood dreams. The one that wasn’t a hand-me-down. The one you loved so much you took it to bed with you. Yeah, that one. ❤️
