It's about missing a friendship that fell apart, a summer camp that ended, a world that feels a little overcast and droopy.After the story, Rita sits down with Madlaina — her 11-year-old daughter — for a real conversation about what grief means, what color it is, and where she feels it in her body (her answer will surprise you).📖 STORY SUMMARYAlways In My Heart follows Milo, a little boy who loves painting with his grandfather. When grandpa dies, Milo feels all kinds of things — sadness, anger, confusion, and sometimes nothing at all. Through a memory book, his family's honesty, and a paintbrush he finds in the art box, Milo discovers that love doesn't end — it lives on in the things we carry.A gentle, honest story for children ages 3–10 and the grown-ups who love them.Read by: Madlaina Bezzola⭐ New to the podcast?
