I love everything about this. Your memories, provocations, mournfulness, the segues that go round and round, the peace finally arrived at... everything.

Thank you for this intimate story. It reminded me of reading “Love, Loss and What I Wore” by Ilene Beckerman. My mother has dementia now (93), but I can always tell when she is having a good day, because she comments on what I’m wearing - a lifelong habit. Of course, sometimes I wear outrageous clothes to visit to elicit a reaction, but most of the time it is just my usual “shape in the world”.
