Interesting the thoughts and emotions this triggered, mostly about my mom who is the last of her generation in our family. It's not difficult to accept that one will go and one will stay but I doubt we're ever really prepared for the emotions. She is being treated like a treasure by the family and, although it doesn't erase the sense of loss, she does seem to enjoy the attention 💕

I've been very aware for many years that the price of admission to meaningful relationships is loss. Whether it's family, friends, or even pets, eventually, one of the pair is left behind. And yet they linger in our lives. The meaning and connection never really leaves us. That's what this story is about. I'm so glad you connected with it, Laura. <3
