Willow made a friend.

Northern Michigan

When I was a kid, my grandparents had a small house “up north”, near Alpena, Michigan. I spent time there during the summer, blissfully unaware of the privilege, but also developing a relationship with the region.

When we went up to visit family friends of Willow’s, I was really in awe of the natural beauty the whole time in a way that also felt like rediscovering an old friend I’d known my whole life. We definitely live in a fantastically beautiful state.

Willow made me laugh.
