Devastatingly beautiful, Lianne! You capture both the essence and the presence of your mother in a way that is both tangible and ethereal. Thanks for making her come to life so vividly, for readers, in your writing and for showing us her haunting and lasting legacy. Clearly, she's still around, albeit in a different guise... She has assumed a ghostly and immortal form in your poetic prose. (Can you tell that I recently reread and taught Dickens's *A Christmas Carol*?😆)
