Ingrid and Crary dancing…those videos carried me and carry me still through every rough day. And Ingrid’s glorious, often bursting smile made my day and so many others’ again and again. Yet it’s this photo of Ingrid and her grandmother—just unearthed from a shoebox—that’s bringing me closer to both Ingrid and my mom. I am leaning in, imagining listening to deeply soulful stories of this and that.

Here's wonderful Ingrid steadying the bag of caramel corn for Mimi. As always her grandmother looks so elegant.
