Mom has lost most of her sight and hearing, all of her taste and sense of smell. Touch. That’s what she has left. Because touch-starvation is a thing, just ask Harry Harlow's monkeys.
The tenderness you show your Mom is so moving. I can't imagine accessing that part of my heart to care for my mother the way you are caring for yours. It's a beautiful thing. So much love to both of you.
"We were us again." Long, spider monkey arm (including the footnote). And all of it. All of it. I don't even know why I'm trying to highlight any one phrase or image. The whole thing. Thank you.

Thank you, lovey! I have so much respect for you, your writing. I appreciate you reading my work (including the footnotes!), and your generosity.
