Man, there is nothing quite like touching base after a long spell, and feeling that knot of worry fall away.

One person very dear to me is away for the year working so hard that there's only time for brief weekly check-ins.

Another family, with 2 nephews-of-the-heart, is so busy living their best lives (yay!) that we went a few months without being able to hang out online like we used to weekly. But oh! What joy to touch base again at last.

& what a *relief*, to know they're all doing well. 💛
