Aww, thank you so much, Simone. ❤️ We’ll miss you too! The good news is we’ll actually be in Vancouver next May before we depart on our Alaska cruise, so I’m hoping we can squeeze in a quick visit then. It would be so wonderful to see you again! 🥰🌎🚢

JoAnne, that little sketch, "We Love You Fluffie," undoing you after days of holding it together over boxes says it all. Mucho friendship, mucho kindness, mucho memories — what a beautiful way to reframe that word. Love this! Carried with care!

Thank you so much, Willow. ❤️ I’m so glad that line resonated with you. “Mucho friendship, mucho kindness, mucho memories” became the heart of the story for me. That’s exactly what we’re carrying home from Mérida. Thank you for reading it so thoughtfully. 🥹💕
