Genevieve Kingston has carried a cardboard box with her throughout her life, filled with gifts for major milestones \u2014 childhood birthdays, her first period, graduation.\n\nThe gifts are from her mother, who died of cancer just before Ms. Kingston\u2019s 12th birthday. In her final days, she prepared postcards for the future and filled the box with her love.\n\nIn today\u2019s episode, we listen to Ms. Kingston\u2019s essay about opening the packages in the box, and her reflections on what was lost \u2014 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.
