Oh my goodness, you've got my eyes watering and my nose running. That's an incredible story. I also can relate to the deep love my mom have for each other and constant pull of expectations on each other. I will certainly learn from your lesson.

This is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this touching story. I, too, struggle with my relationship with my mom, so your story has really made me think about the "daughter I want to be" (since I don't think it's likely that my mom will magically become the mom that I want/need her to be either, lol). Thank you, Colleen! 🩷

What a beautiful tribute to your beautiful Mom, Colleen! I sit hear reading this with tears in my eyes. I had to place both of my parents into a nursing home, together. It was one of the hardest things I had to do! Shortly after, they died, 4 weeks apart. It's so hard to say "good-bye" but "good-bye" we must say. Sending you peace and love.
