I've called squirrels squiggles for my whole life because my little brother did when he started talking and we all found it funny. So our family did, and now my household with my partner do too!

The name of my beloved grandmother, who died 3 months ago. Her name was Jean, and I followed my grandfather around as a toddler, imitating him, but instead of saying 'Jean', I said 'Dee'. Dee was what all her grandchildren called her until the very last day, and it was printed on the order of service at her funeral.
I am still so sad. I love you Dee.
