In a time when you wonder if anyone even remembers who you are, I feel so loved!

Shout out to all the mamas and the papas (and nonnas and aunties and uncles and...) not only carrying their kiddos but giving them wings through this pandemic. These days are not easy, we were not meant to be so isolated from our villages and there are no instruction manuals for parenting like this. (That I know of anyway, I’d you’ve got one, please share with me!). You’re doing your best under some crazy hard circumstances, grace to you friends!

Progress is slow, tedious, and messy sometimes. That is all. Who wants to place bets on 1) if I will finish this and 2) if so, when?
