To the team who guided my newly expanded family through critical early days

To the people who shoulder the immense burden of keeping me safe in the sky

Their work can save our lives as individuals — and might even save our species

And there aren’t many of you

Our notes of gratitude to the community advocates, health care workers and others who make Nashville special

To the folks who helped me recover almost-lost memories when I needed them most

To the spooky-season tradition that strengthened bonds for me and my life partner

The North Nashville nonprofit makes me feel lucky to live in our city

The fridge and those who fill it embody community care
