Such a beautiful essay, written with elegance & heart. I love how each

small anecdote put me in mind of something I had experienced; the circumstances infinitely different but the feelings were so relatable. I cherish my old people, too.

There is a quiet melancholy sorrow in your words that I recognize and, oddly enough, welcome. Like the comfort and warm embrace in the familiar.
