A painting party... Way back when we first submitted our plans to the County of Santa Barbara, I got the idea to have a painting party, where we invite a few friends over to an empty house and let the kids run wild, and maybe the adults would get into it, too.
It's lovely to think of Substack as a big park where we're all leaving our memories on our benches. There are 10,000 benches in Central Park, most with names on them. Keep going Emily!
The thought and memory of 'i was here' is so simple but can be so loaded. I had a few tears forming by the end of this one, and I thank you for sharing

Thank you for the encouragement David! It's just like what you shared on Notes yesterday. Our writing is the one thing that can live on.
This is just so moving.
Thank you Jeffery!
Oh Emily, I’m once again moved to tears by your beautiful writing - such heart and honesty. I’m so grateful to have found you. I see you “here.”
Same to you Caroline! I love writing alongside you!
Heartbreaking, touching, and utterly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this Emily. 🥰 I’m glad you and your family keep moving forward.
Thank you Claire!!
