For the next two weeks or so, I’ll be stepping away from the day to day face of the shop.
Our best friend Janson….who is our family not by blood, but by choice, is facing the end of his battle with stage four cancer. Right now, my heart and my time need to be with him, with my best friend Ronald (Sharon) and with their daughter, Camdyn. Along with our boys who are also navigating the loss of their uncle G.
For the last 14 months, we have been walking closely through this devastating journey with them. There have been countless appointments, treatments, hard days, hopeful days, tears, laughter, joy, and so many moments that most people would never know were happening while I was still showing up here, running the shop, answering messages and carrying on with everyday life.
For the next little while, our focus is going to be on this chapter. On being together. On loving our people. On making the most of the short time we have left as the four besties, and the GunderKeen joint family. I will still be popping into the shop when I can, and our amazing team will continue to take care of things while I step back a little.
And while I don’t want to make this about the shop, I would be incredibly grateful for your support of Little Kinfolk during this time. Shopping with us, sharing our posts, telling a friend about us, or simply continuing to show up for our little shop means more than you probably realize.
This little business has been such a big part of our family and our life, and knowing that it can keep moving forward while I turn my attention toward my own family right now is something I’m deeply grateful for.
Thank you for giving me the grace to step away to be present with our people.
Thank you for understanding.
And most of all, please keep Sharon, Camdyn and Janson in your prayers.
This chapter is incredibly hard because the love we all have for one another is so deep. And for that, we are blessed…because what a gift!?.
