This is beautiful. My sister and I had a chance to visit the homeland of our ancestors and learned so much about the nuances of generational struggles and blessings. It truly illuminated where the shifts were, and how the branches of our family grew and prospered over the past hundred years. It was both humbling and eye-opening and left us so grateful. This is a wonderfully thoughtful piece, Kate. Your mom (and family) will continue to fortify you as you, too, pave your own path, just like she has.

Really enjoyed learning about your Mom and her very “active” style of parenting. I’m sure she wanted to jump in there many many times and look what happened!

How lucky are we to have role models who did (and continue to do) the work to show us the impact of intentionality in our actions and decisions. Hard choices, easy life.
