20:27Now PlayingGenevieve Kingston has carried a cardboard box with her throughout her life, filled with gifts for major milestones — childhood birthdays, her first period, graduation.
The gifts are from her mother, who died of cancer just before Ms. Kingston’s 12th birthday. In her final days, she prepared postcards for the future and filled the box with her love.
In today’s episode, we listen to Ms. Kingston’s essay () about opening the packages in the box, and her reflections on what was lost and what was found. Then, we speak to a mother and son from one of our Tiny Love Stories () to hear about how they have connected during the pandemic through cooking.
