If it can be said, my mother-in law died a “good” death, out of pain and surrounded by those she loved and those who adored her.
She was extraordinary. A heart like a hotel — with room for all.
But the most memorable thing she said, which I’d like to share with you is: “The more love you give, the more you get. And the more you have to give back.”
In other words, love is infinite.
The world is a little poorer for her death. But richer for her life.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Your writing is a gift to her and to us, and, I hope, to yourself, going beyond words into love so infinitely strong it remains timeless, with no boundaries. Thank you.

She was a gift. All the things my “mother” was not.
I didn’t do so well in the birth parent draw. But I hit the sweepstakes when I met Arthur’s parents.
I used to joke that I married him for his mother and father. They were the best.
