That hig made me cry too.... 🥹. I dont know why I love this AS MUCH as I do, sitting here with my coffee this morning. Is it the writing? Well, yes, obviously the writing is exquisite- you paint a scene effortlessly (though I know it rakes mad skill to do so). But it's something else. It's mostly that I love your entire heart, and I get to see it here, in the everyday small-but-enormously-important-moments in the Target aisles. Thank you. I feel more hopeful about every single thing now. ❤️✨️🙏
😭💟🙏 you bring me to tears in the best way. Humbled & honored to have you see me at the core- I see you in this same glow and am so grateful for your heart Lamb. 🫎
This was so beautiful and I'm really glad you both got to experience that. It made me think about the time I cried in a woman's arms in the bar after she asked if I was okay hahaha. Also, had no idea our littles were so close in age. My Sweets will be 4 on NYE! Happy belated to you both!
That is a story I want to read about!! *nudge, nudge!
And happy upcoming birthday to you two as well! Motherhood. So wild! I love how honest you are in it. It inspires me to stand my ground with my reality too. 💚💚
Oh what a touching and unexpected story! And actually, I think it's better than you didn't get her number, because then it can stand alone as this powerful moment of connection.
Happy birthday to Augie! And yes, you have to read Crying in H Mart - I recommend the audiobook version, so you can hear the author herself talking, as it's full of emotion and her own prononciation of all the Korean foods she refers to throughout.
Hi CVD! Thank you so much for reading and for your kind feedback. I love the idea of listening to Crying in H-Mart on audiobook. I have a free credit on Audible and will use it for exactly that. 🤍
Mesa!!! Holding and hugging the virtual HEAVENS with you. Thank you for reading and being here. I know times have been glum & I Love Love Love you so. This Too Shall Pass. I hope. 🤞
This just filled me up. Such a special moment. You could have kept it to yourself and instead you will brighten all of our days too. Thank you for sharing. 🤎
🥹🥰 I am still not over the fact that we get to be connected on substack. I will also never get over the fact that you read these letters!! You and your family mean so much to me and helped shape my barista/life experience in such a unique way. The most kind & special heart you have and I consider myself fortunate to be in your orbit. 🤍
GHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!! Miss K!!!! This, all of this!!! 😭 I just adore how you write and wrap us up into your stories, and your HUMOR insertions. Obsessed. And hold up, is your son's birthday November 3rd or the next day?!?! My daughters is November 3rd!!! And while my daughter just turned 9, I agree with you in every fiber of my soul, I have *transformed* since becoming a mom!!! And, to think that we entered that journey at the same time of year, if only a couple years apart. 🥹 And--- woman, I am so proud of you for asking to give granny a hug!!! 😭🥹 My 'don't talk to me in public unless I know you self or am in the mood for social interactions self' is so so so inspired by your courage and vulnerability. What a beautiful movement. 🥹
💛😭 I just adore our babies came into this world and made at mamas at almost the same time of year!!! That is just so special! 🥹 And New World Porter gets to join the festivities?! Love!!

Megs!!! Megan. Meg. M. Lee. I simply cannot put to words how much your celebration of my existence impact me on & off this screen.
And OF COURSE you are a Scorpio Mama!!! It’s all coming together! 😂 🤍
I went into labor 11/3, and August joined us 11/4. And you know what- I think New World Porter is an 11/3 birthday too!!!!
If I could ask to hug you this morning in Target, I WOULD. And your girl.
You are already a STAR in my eyes. You have been since day 1. Xx
