In my high school year book there was a section at the end called “dot–dots” on which graduating seniors were able to summarize their experiences and write shout outs to friends and families. They were a list of thank you’s but instead of line breaks between each there were the three “…”
Great summary of love, respect, and experience in this web-based dot–dots.
Love it.
