this week, i'm dedicating the podcast to my grandmother - someone who was not just a grandmother to multiple dozens of us, but also a great grandmother AND great great grandmother. she LOVED her family - and not like that automatic love someone feels for their family, she unconditionally loved us. regardless of what we chose, what we did, who we were, what we believed, we were always welcome with her in her home, in her arms and at her dinner table. i wish i knew how to love without conditions but tbh im not great at it. i hope she stays with me to teach me.
