I seriously love your writing. I’m laughing, crying and smiling in one post! I miss that legend of a grandpa of yours too! Thank you for sharing this with all of us. 🙏🏻😢

For real, Heather... that means the world to me.. Just getting started on this crazy ride, and it'll be a roller coaster. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read the work :)

I can surly tell the Lord gave you a special gift. And it’s even better you’re sharing it with others. Maybe it’s the sentimental Storm in me or the nostalgia.......I feel like I can relate to you in your leaving, travels and longing to be back in the place that raised us. 😭🙏🏻🙌🏻

Second to how to pronounce sauna, the defiant pride that we all have toward our lake is quite the thing to witness, wonderfully written, can't wait for the next one!

Love this! I don’t remember going to the Island as a child, but often have memories of the boat trip to Pictured Rocks that I took with your family one summer :)

When I was at lower harbor in Marquette this summer I thought of that trip, staying in the marina and walking downtown Marquette 💗 we were so lucky to be with Gram and Papa on that trip, playing cards and totally unaware of how truly incredible the Pictured Rocks lakeshore is 🫶
