This piece glows with so much intimacy and color.

The image of knitting memory into yarn — row by row — feels like such a gentle way to metabolize grief and love at the same time.

I also really felt the Michelle Obama line: starting and finishing something as a way to soften overwhelm.

Thank you for sharing this. ðŸŠī

Such a wonderful story about a beautiful woman and her family. I hope that your visit with her created many new memories for you to store away for the future.

Such a beautiful and sad story. My heart goes out for you though maybe there is a little consolation in knowing that she chose the time herself while she is still able to do so. It is her will and I am sure it takes a lot to respect that. Many hugs from Germany
