First, sending tremendous love and light to you during this time.
Second, thank you for such a beautiful and joyful prompt. It brought me back to one of the moments I will always treasure.
An afternoon with my grandmother in her little assisted living apartment, with a small balcony overlooking the Prescott Dells — giant boulders stacked in remarkable ways, etched with beautiful striations. My mom was there, being the consummate hostess, with champagne for us, apple juice for my five-year-old son, and snacks all around. The light was bright on the balcony, so my mom found my grandmother’s stash of sunglasses. Grandma put on one pair, and my son slipped on another. The two of them sat side by side, delighted with the view and their snacks — two of my favorite people in the world.
My little five-year-old in oversized round sunglasses, like a tiny owl beside her... a mini-me of Grandma in that moment. They looked like the happiest twins, perched there together, sharing sunshine and snacks. We all laughed at the sweetness of it, at the ease of the moment.

And yes… we have the photo.
