Eloquent writing, w a side bittersweetness. The little NC fireworks town sounds like Franklin, NC, where I grew up going to my Nanny & Pappals. Thanks for the stir of beautiful youth memories.

Thank you, Suzi! Going back there makes me feel like I’m a kid again while simultaneously assaulting me with the reality of time. Appreciate you reading this!
