The Year of Magical Thinking

Joan Didion

2005

This is a very beautiful and moving story that feels really relatable. Reading it and seeing how she recounts some of the ways she and her husband chronicled their child growing up was inspiring to me as Leo was in the near horizon. I ended up taking some ideas and expanding on them, making an email address for Leo to check in with him periodically and let him know how he's growing and what he's saying/doing so he can see it when he gets older. This book had some beautiful, simple passages around this topic.
