We just lost my husband’s 97 year old mom = 11 kids 22 grands and 8 great grands. He and I held her hands as she passed and her last words were “Good Memories” 🩵. He had his one year cancer follow up scans this week and all is clear 🩵. Life is a dizzying rollercoaster of love and loss and some days, weeks, months, years, it’s hard to hang on, but Emma, many days, good books are our refuge. Thank you for sharing your light with us, we truly are in this together. 🩵

Thank you posting this today, it’s exactly what I needed. August is hard for me for similar reasons (my birthday bookended by both my parents death anniversaries, too much too do, lost friendships). You writing was a needed reminder that I need to have more of the fun stuff, even if it’s going to see Barbie for a third time because it is so so much fun. I also will have I’m Just Ken stuck in my head for eternity it seems and I’m okay with that.
