This project is in honor of my son, Lorenzo, who had half a heart but filled ours full. Whenever I find a heart, I see Lorenzo in the world. Thank you for contributing the hearts you find and their meaning. Let's link up the whole world, one heart at a time.

I didn't really know what you were doing with all of your hearts until the other day. Just knew that I kept seeing them pop up in your IG feed. Thought maybe you just assigned yourself a scavenger hunt project to help you settle into and/or encourage you to explore your new surroundings. Then the other day, I checked out your blogspot. Had heard about what happened but didn't know the rest of the story. In any case, I'm now on the lookout for hearts for you too. It seems like a lovely and healthy way to process it all."

I see the sweet family parties we enjoyed and remember how we celebrated every moment of our children's lives..."

I carry your heart with me
E.E. Cummings
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
