goodbye

"Write a book" she said, "Write a book about what?", I said.

I've always said I wanted to write a book, and so have you - maybe it’s in our DNA. But the most important thing, I think, is that I talk about you and your story, from my point of view, and our point of view, all the things you've done and the things you wanted to do but didn't.

We all have so many stories, and your story became mine, and ours has become yours. The stories that you never wrote, that I've never heard, they might just be lost or live on with someone else. But you are a part of me anyway, and maybe I will write a book and maybe I won’t. It doesn't really matter that much. And you, at some point, were everything to me.

Now you’ve gone on to new adventures. I wish you were always here and I love you and everything you have been. Sleep well, Mom.
