Beautiful essay! My son lives in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and my husband and I visited Michigan last summer for the first time (Charlevoix! Leelaunau Peninsula! Mackinac!) Thank you for sharing— and hoping love can outweigh all!

This is so nice to read. I struggle a lot with where I'm living now (back in my home state of Maryland after 12 years in CA and TX) and it's just nice to read the positive feels someone has for multiple homes.

Loved all of the details. Made me miss living in the city!

This is beautiful, Leah. You're one of the best New Yorkers I know -- and you make me want to visit Michigan, too. Sending love in the face of all this anti-semitism, and gratitude that everyone from yesterday's events are safe.

Oh Leah. You get to the heart…my heart every time. Your deep love. I’m still in shock from yesterday’s events.
