This is beautiful.

Funny I came across this a few days after writing about my own grandmother's death. It became more real after I wrote about it - even though it will never be enough. https://ragini00.substack.com/p/33-fish-and-rice?utm_source=activity_item

Thank you for sharing, Ragini. Just read your post too and it resonated so much - we are always children with grandparents ❤️

It's a great name for your blog - it would work just fine for any if us here.

And your words are so empowering. It will help all writers to reflect on their own journeys and draw strength from it. We all need it from time to time

I don't know nothing about astronomy but i think some stars appear smaller because they are farther from us. So it all depends on where we are looking from, no?
