A really sweet tribute, Sarah (and great pictures!--that's Karen's t-shirt that mom's wearing at the Dead show). You are doing such a great job of embracing the best of your heritage. Keep it up!

What an incredible person your mother was and such a lovely tribute. The last picture ... oh man. Makes me feel like my own trajectory of carving my own path raising a family, feeling judgmental, then appreciating things in a new way with time & experience may be more common than I think. You write so beautifully and make everyone feel so at home & welcomed in your stories. You make everything feel so relatable. Calling my mom right now.
