My mother made me cry this year with one of her gifts. She gave me one of the most powerful magical family treasures I’ve ever encountered, something I’ve been fascinated and obsessed with ever since I was a kid… My (legal) middle name comes from my great-grandfather on my mother’s side. I have a hazy memory of meeting him when I was very young, and a very clear distinct memory of my mother sobbing when he died. By all accounts he was a sweet, tender man who was well-loved by everyone. ⬇️
