  May 19, 202615 minS1

  Apr 28, 202612 minS1

  <p>Think of someone you love. When did you last truly tell them what they mean to you?</p><p>This week in the Writing Shed is different. There's less talking from me, and more space for you. Because today, we're writing a letter. To anyone: living or not, present or thirty years gone.</p><p>I open with a beautiful trunk full of letters, my mother's handwriting, and the things that went unsaid.
