Many of you know that my mother passed away in late February. A few weeks ago, I found this clipping in with some of her papers. Based on its faded look, I suspect it’s something she cut out to reflect the relationship she had with her mother – a woman who inspired the character Ann Jamieson in my novel Unravelled.
And now, the same clipping speaks to me.
Makes me a little teary writing this. I hope it prompts some thoughts for you of the special people in your life.

It makes me a little teary, too, Mary. My sympathy on your mother’s passing. We never stop missing our moms.
So true, Carol. I appreciate your thoughts.
Very close to my heart right now Mary. My mom passed 2 weeks ago.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Arlene. Sending hugs.
Yes, indeed. Thank you for sharing this lovely poem, Mary.
