said Lorraine O. on Welcome to the new year: “Hearing how you navigate the holidays with a blended family is like watching your neighbor while you're both lugging a bunch of city-work bags; The content is different, but the elevator recognizes the elevator. From the hips to the shoulders and…up!”
Jess On said How to be a good friend: “When my daughter was being treated for leukemia (she's doing well now), people were so generous with suggestions of 'what can I do' and I usually didn't know where to start. Bright moments I remember when my friend brought slippers to wear in the hospital or a breakfast item from Dunkin' Donuts that my daughter wanted to eat. Small and specific and very beautiful.”
