My loves! I’m flying to England tonight for my grandmother’s funeral. I’ll be reading a poem at her service and joining my dad, aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews as we sing all the hymns and celebrate her life. In order to fully soak it up, we will be pausing the site this week, and we’ll be back on Friday with a link list.
