Ahhh, Vidya, thank you so so so much for your beautiful message and for sharing this personal part of your story. I'm so sorry to hear you didn't have anyone to talk to - and I'm glad you started a blog as a tribute to your mum. You'll share the truths that feel right for you.

Your words are soothing to me, too, Vidya. There is such warmth and love in them, just the lovely way you talk about things, like the watches, for example - it makes me feel like I'm sitting in your kitchen while you putter at the cooker and make a meal to nourish my soul and the souls of all who come to feast on your words. Just such a beautiful gift. Thank you...hugs and love to you, too!
