Happy 9th Birthday, Charlotte Grey! Your strength in the last year has challenged all of us. You are beautiful inside and out. What a privilege it is to be your mama. I love you, pretty!

One silver lining of having divorced parents— celebrating Thanksgiving twice with my siblings, their spouses, my nieces and nephews.

It’s a not a show but still a comfort movie.
