Summary

My family has been hit by wave after wave after wave of blows these last few weeks. Heather’s grandma Nani lost her home in the California wildfires, and then Heather’s mom Bridgette passed away last week. If I had to describe this season with one word, it’d be unrelenting. As we were reminiscing about these lives, I found this conversation between Heather and Nani from 11 years ago. In the living room of the home that just burned down, 11 years ago, Nani shares the story of her life. I’m so excited for you to dive into this story. . . . . . Watch my Midlife vlog here. . . . . .
