Letters to you, and what I'm learning

What's something you've let go of — as a parent, as a person — that you're glad you released?

Why this question

An expectation, a fear, a way of doing things. What changed when you let it go.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Answer it yourself first, then ask them the same question and keep both. Two voices, one moment.
  • ·You don't need quiet. You need now. Record it in the car, on the walk to school, at the foot of the bed.
  • ·Record it on an ordinary day — the background noise of your kitchen is part of the keepsake.
