Just shared this on my LinkedIn, so sharing here as well…

I am not sure if it’s because it’s a sunny Sunday, or if it was mother’s Sunday only the other day and it made me deeply nostalgic, or if it is just because this book was out in a certain May when my mother was still with us and I could share my joy with her and Cecé together. I don’t really know why, but today, the whole joy of having our story recorded in this incredible book came back to me and I thought I’d share it here, as I can’t remember if I did at the time. #ProudSister Thank you again, Melanie Nind & Iva Strnadová.
