Thank you, Andrea, just a snippet of a memory of a cousin/nephew who would come to visit sometimes. On sunny afternoons, we would go play in the woods. He is in a nursing home now and I am really not able to go visit him for several reasons. Sara K

Dear Sara, I loved this very tender journey through nostalgia, where memories bloom like Carolina allspice. Your beautiful imagery of sweet shrubs and rust blossoms evokes a sense of longing and familiarity. It beautifully captures the essence of shared secrets and the comfort found in reminiscence. I felt I was there! - Blessings, Daniel
