“She moved back in with us three months after coming back. And every day, I waited for her to leave again. I knew she would. I knew it in the core of my soul.
And the, one day, she did. But not the way I thought.
She died. A massive heart attack at the age of forty-nine.
And for the second time in my life, I'd been left by mu mother. But this time, it was for good. And it wasn't her fault, which was the hardest part of it to wrap my mind around. I couldn't hate her for leaving this time. But I could hate myself a little for failing to let her back in when I still had the chance.”
Kristin Harmel, Italian for Beginners
