Dear Elizabeth. Beautifully written. I had to say goodbye to my mom on FaceTime as well. You described the experience exquisitely. Sending love to you....

Elizabeth, I see you in your mom’s face. May you see her and hear her voice when you need it most in the days/weeks/months ahead. I am thinking of you and holding you in my heart.

My heart goes out to you. You will always miss her, and that is just how it is: hard. Also, that pic -- she really was beautiful -- you aren't just whistling Dixie when you say that. All love and hugs and cups of sweet tea to you, friend. -Kate

Even though my mother and I had a most difficult relationship, when she breathed her last breath, I felt exactly the same- a cosmic rip a tear, severance. You said exactly what I felt. I am loving you.
