This is beautiful, Jonie, thank you! We have such similar family circumstances: growing up in big, loving, adoptive families with lots of beautiful holiday memories, then family tragedies that have forever reshaped our family and traditions — but they’re still lovely. I have a hard time knowing how to write about all that in my own work, and I so appreciate this exemplar of how to do it well. ❤️
