You capture the soul of community beautifully, Bri. I think back to my childhood repertory theater and playground and church with so much nostalgic warmth, and that shared sense of belonging and building something together is quite a legacy that cascades down the generations. I especially love how you describe the old gym—it’s never the shiny new spaces that hold the real memories, but the ones where life has been *lived in* together!

Thank you for the kinds words, Courtney! And I'm so glad it brought back great memories of your earlier days too.
I love this post! Invaluable lessons for Will and Henry. So heartwarming to see your family all participating. Love you all
