Awww, Jodi! These tiny moments are the most potent fuel and precious gems that sustain us. I can see my Dad's face breaking into laughter at something stupid-silly we did or happened... amidst all the crappy dark stuff, that was our ray of light. Thanks for reminding me of that. xo

That’s a knife that cuts both ways. She did amazing mom work in the most difficult of circumstances.

Jodi I have tears in my eyes again. This is so sweet and sad and beautiful. And makes me reflect on my own mom, who I was so connected to and miss so much.

Thanks, Sarah. I'm not sure we ever stop missing them. I think that's what it means to love someone.

I agree, I know I will never stop missing loved ones (people and animals) who have passed on. It can be so painful, but I am grateful too, to have these powerful connections. ❤️

Just beautiful, Jodi. She does see you. And probably always has.

Jodi Sh. Doff's avatar

Thanks Leslie. Not always, which is why it makes it all the more special.
