This was so beautiful, Leslie. I am in awe of you. You are a steadfast beacon of love to your family and friends; I am struck here by how you are able to adjust the aperture on your life and take in the small and significant doses of love shown back to you.

“Saying, “I do” is saying I’m willing to work at repairing our connection when shit gets real—over and over and over again, for the rest of our lives.” Yes yes yes!

Love all the little moments you captured. And that mic drop moment of your daughter saying her energy relies on your love 🥹

It kinda flies in the face of “all you need is love” but 🤷‍♀️

But love is being willing to repair and start again.

I love these. I keep a daily grateful journal and these small acts of love are the types of things that fill it up. So nice to reflect on these little, important things years from now.

I loved reading your thoughts about the importance of repairs and how you’re noticing and receiving all the small acts of love. What a doozy of a flu season it has been!
