Sweet Jessie…. I know too well those moments. The ones that sneak up from behind and engulf your very being. Those moments when again it is impossible to understand that our loved one is not “here”…. Not in the room … and yet they are in every space of the room. You can not know how much your writing comforts me. I can only tell you that those moments… as you described in the car… will be so welcomed by you… the sudden look someone gives… a song… the color of the sky…there will be so many moments and things that bring your darling Mama so close that you can feel her in the room. And for a moment she’s there. You will welcome those times… and you will be filled with love and sadness all at once. It will overlap and then in a moment you may sigh and cry and gather yourself and be grateful for all the love you still share. That love will never be too far from you. You are a beautiful writer and such a beautiful soul. ❤️Nana….Susan
