Thank goodness for long letters to mothers! I’m preparing for my mother’s ashes to be interred next month. We should not encounter any of the hazards you faced in 1980! She never met your father, but was a cousin of sorts. (Libbie, my mother, was a grandniece of Florence Mole.) Thank you for a beautiful reading.

Sadly hilarious. But it is those kind of moments that make the best memories.

Totally wonderful, each episode and emotion, and that very wonderful setting.
