sometimes life does not go exactly as we plan. we lost my uncle* to cancer yesterday afternoon. and things feel impossibly hard. things will be a little quiet around these tea leaves for the next few days as we celebrate an incredible life cut far too short. thanks to all of you for your kind words over these past few months.
*he’s the sweet guy in blue. here, with his brothers.
