Ohhh, Mawde!! I'm in tears - with a big smile! I adore your dear mum's spirit! Wow, what a force she must have been! And that sculpture! And her painting! Not to mention all the other snippets of stories you've shared in this piece!! An incredible woman; wish I could have known her.

Your pics are EXCELLENT! You've captured your mother's indomitable spirit perfectly! What a character she was!

And THAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!! I had goosebumps - and more tears - through the entire thing! Absolutely mesmerising!! I don't have adequate words for how stunningly beautiful that performance was. I can only imagine what it was like to have actually been there to see it in person. WOW.

BTW - having communicated with spirits since I was a kid, I'm sure that was your mum - not just in your head - telling you to get on with life ... and yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if she was giving you a nudge to write this sweet story about her. Wonderful!!

Thank you for this beautiful story. It was so moving and lovely!! 💜💜💜
