My mother

I miss my mother’s beautiful soul.

Her eagerness to laugh at any joke.

I miss the way she moved with such grace, her joy when dancing.

I miss her goodness and kindness, her absolute acceptance of every living being–exactly as they were.

On Thanksgiving three years before she died

My mother has been gone four years this week. Every day, I miss her.
