this touched many corners of me ♡ my dream dog to own is also a dalmatian. my grandma passed away when I was here in london in nov 2023 and the facetime goodbye has stuck with me since. for my other nana I similarly pack a box of shortbread in my carry on each time I go home. grief is strange and sad! but thank you for writing about it!
