“I understand what it means to find comfort in this hard world, a world where you survive not because you’re the strongest, but because someone rides with you.” Yes. Beautiful. 💕
Another beauty, Caroline! Thank you for sharing such precious memories. Your Pop sounds like a hoot and such a pal to you. Ok, again, your tv viewing brings back such nostalgia for me. Gunsmoke and Bonanza were always on the TV for my dad. I didn’t understand why he always wanted to watch those shows and I don’t need to. As your piece so brilliantly revealed, it’s the comfort the memory of him brings you. That hits for me as well. 🤍
What’s My Line?, To Tell the Truth…gosh, I loved those shows, too. 😃
Wow, you really went for the knockout punch in the closing 😭 I don't think I'll recover from this one and I'm okay with that. Your Pop sounded like a great man and I wish I could have met him. He helped raise one of my favorite people in the world! Incredible piece of writing here. One of my favs of yours.
I've always loved Westerns. (Checkout Hannie Caulder! Raquel Welch 😮💨 Hannie is actually my style inspo for future me.)
Helluva piece. Thank you.
Thank you!!
This is just beautiful.
Thanks Mike!!

"Life is nothing if not a perpetual test of making do with what we have." What a line! I love the truth of it - and the challenge. Thank you.
Thank you so so much!!!

Fully sobbing!!!! If only all my people got to meet all your people!!
I surprisingly haven’t seen that one. But I watch Lonesome Dove and Giant once a year just to sob uncontrollably!!
You’re my favorite 😍
I remember how beautiful the original essay was and somehow you’ve managed to surpass it in this updated version. Your heart shines through 🩷
You are too kind to me!!
