That was lovely Leslie, and resonates, thanks for sharing it so eloquently. Life certainly has challenges and is complicated, and we can’t lose sight of the fact that it was for those who came before us also. But “be kind” is good and timeless advice. I hope that you had a very nice Mother’s Day, you deserve it.
I lost my mom when I was 12. Most of my life since then has been about finding her, finding her within me, and trying to mother as she might have wanted to be able to do herself and for me to do in emulation of her — or not.
Twisted. Complicated. Confounding. So many ways of thinking about this. So calming to read your thoughts, Les.
I love this, my friend. It _is_ so much easier to love the people who may be harder to love when we know some of their backstory. Love is complicated.
Thank you, Kate! ❤️
