Such a well told story. I especially loved hearing about her 'sharp edges'. We all have them and yet at a funeral the person was just warm and lovely from the very beginning to the end. Such a lie. they were also human
Thank you so much, Douglas. When I first wrote this and recorded it, I was worried that it might seem too harsh. But it appears you caught the full meaning and for that I am grateful.
Thanks so much for listening to the story and for commenting. That means a lot.
What a beautiful piece. So many huge things carefully and skillfully folded into the telling. A lifetime in a few lines, yet not diminished but intimate and familiar. Quite lovely. Thank you Geoffrey, I enjoyed that a lot.
Geoffrey, this is gorgeous.
The twin images of her forehead against yours as a child, yours against hers in her final moments will stay with me like wings.
Oh thank you, thank you, Holly. That you noticed that, that you commented about it really makes my day.
Be well.

It meant a lot to listen to it. Thank you.
So warm and dear and soft, Geoffrey. Your voice, words and images envelop all the sharper parts with such grace. Thank you for sharing this beauty.
Julia, thanks so much. I so appreciate your kind words. They mean a lot to me this morning.
