#ScribesAndMakers ☼ 2026.02.15 — Today is SAM's first birthday. Let's celebrate with cake. Share a description, photo, art, short fiction, or other creative portrayal of cake. Or just mash a piece into the cake drive of your PC so we can all try a bite. CW: VERY EMOTIONAL

I should have thought harder than to simply search for photos of cake in my phone. I found this video of us singing Happy Birthday to my mom taken on my mother's birthday months after she passed away. I can't describe my thoughts right now. Sorry.
