“This is how it has always been between us, the two of us very different and yet so connected. Even now, with each new card I make, I imagine sharing it with my mother, and resting for a moment in the surpassing love that all my life has animated her gaze. This is for you, I will think but not say to the woman who already knows my reasons.”

“What he didn’t understand was that disappointment would never destroy our mother. She had a heart of fire, and would always pick herself up and try something else, seek another way forward.”
