Such challenging stuff, families. The profound need for connection, wow. Thank you so much for sharing your family stories, all your stories! Keep 'em coming.....
"And here’s the thing: I want Grandma and Grandpa to love him. Still! Long after they’ve all passed." I relate to this so strongly, Josh!!

Families can be so complicated. 😢
