Heather I so appreciate you taking the time to comment and tell me this! It really means a lot. I love that this story of my mom is winding its way out into the world - it captures something very essential about her (and about all mothers).

I so agree with you, Katie, about poetry being high art and therapeutic. There is nothing like it. What a touching story about your mother, speedy reaction too!
