“Aru, did you know you grew inside Mommy’s belly? You were like a tiny sweet pea, growing and growing and growing. Now you’re too big to go back into my belly.
It was magical — I felt like an apple tree to the apple of my eye. How about you? How did you feel inside Mommy’s belly? Were you ever bored?”
“No! It was so much fun!”
“Do you know what an umbilical cord is? Mommy would breathe, and the cord passed that breath to you. Mommy was your oxygen.”
“Wow, Mommy, you’re amazing. But what does that mean?”
“It means we breathed the same air together.”

It’s a special thing when your teacher who became your mentor also becomes a dear cherished friend. So thankful to have caught some time with @thomojones during his very demanding schedule of being speech & dialect coach to the stars! Missed his huge heart, his huge brain, & his huge hugs (yay for both being vaccinated)! #BrownTrinity #mentor #friends #breathingtogether (at West Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COtq6mvjc-g/?igshid=vnrhlgbmd6m9
