“Whether you're “alone” or “feel alone” or you're in the trenches with someone, I'm so beyond grateful I get to do this with you. A challenge to think about if you are in the same place as us, as far as getting to do this with someone else. this is a really great way to appreciate them and it highlights what you can do. It's, a double challenge.” – Taylor Merritt
