I just read this with a lump in my throat—thank you for writing it with such depth and compassion. That image of gathering the threads, of pulling close what was once spread out… it really moved me. There’s something so healing in the idea that togetherness doesn’t mean doing everything the same way—it just means showing up for each other with presence.

Like many parents, I’ve had my share of struggles helping my son with lessons at home—especially when it came to revisiting material in a way that felt meaningful (and didn’t end in frustration). That journey led me to create an app called SKULI, born quite simply out of my kitchen-table attempts to make revision feel lighter and more child-led.

Just wanted to say how grateful I am to have come across your words today. I’d be honored to gift you access to SKULI (now available on iOS and Android) if you ever feel curious—no expectations at all, just appreciation. And if ever you see ways it could serve families better, I’d truly welcome your insight.

Thanks again for this beautiful reflection—it’ll stay with me.
