If you do one thing this weekend—one thing—please read Tatiana Schlossberg’s exquisite and devastating essay in the It broke my heart in a million pieces while filling me with fury over the unconscionable cuts to cancer research by this administration, led by her cousin Bobby. Thank you Tatiana for sharing your story, your life, your family, your fears, your memories. Know that there are now millions of people who are praying for you, your wonderful husband and two precious children. (I could picture them so well, just from your writing.) I wish I could do more, but just know that many of us who read your beautiful, profound words are sending so much love your way. ❤️
