Joyce, this was an achingly beautiful thing to read and I just wanted to thank you for writing and posting it. I'm feeling very proud to support you.

“Achingly beautiful” captures it perfectly. Not the first time it’s occurred to me, Joyce, that your mother is one of my favorite people I never met. She was a Titan.

Beautiful. My mom just died a few weeks ago, at 92. What I appreciate most is the way your stories let love, hurt, laughter, grief, regret and appreciation all be present at the same time.

Thank you for sharing this Joyce! We all have those moments. Ask Meg to tell you about "Tally Ho!" sometime. Humor has been our primary coping mechanism.
