Oh, Sarah. I am so sorry. You and Ruby both said what is in my heart. Our mothers were so much alike in both life and death. Peace and understanding come quietly in their own time.

I wanted to add that, Sarah, I understand what it means to be the sole memory keeper. You can describe in detail to someone else, but they won't have been in that moment, nor seen and felt the nuances. At first it hurt so much...but now I am learning how to let those memories live on in new ways. While I may be the only one to fully understand, I also have the special privilege carrying of the sweet and bittersweet in me. To paraphrase a song I so love, "Wherever I go, I take them, too."

Dear friend, wherever you go, you take your mum, too.👵

My love to you.💖
