I could not love this more. I may just copy the whole thing out and stick it right on to my fridge.

As always a pleasure to read you!

Ever since I become a mother a day before October 7 I’ve been pondering this very same question “how can we teach our children to be apart and part of the world?” Thank you for your wonderful answer
