I asked my daughter if she wanted my china set.
The one I saved up for. The one that only came out for Christmas and birthdays. The one I always pictured on her table someday.
She was kind about it. But the answer was no.
It stung more than I expected because I realized I'd been holding onto things for decades based on a story that was never really hers to carry.
This is a conversation a lot of us are quietly having with ourselves right now. And I think it's worth saying out loud. 🤍
I wrote it all out — link's in the comments if you want to read it 💛
