Thank you for sharing, this was an incredibly beautiful reflection.

My grandfather suddenly passed away a month ago from cancer. Grief really is love with nowhere to go. I hope you can find some joy and make new memories this season.

This is such a lovely tribute to your mother. I'm glad you had someone so special in your life who encouraged your writing dreams.

Very touching. I know how much your mom means to you and I'm glad you still have her voice in your head proclaiming her belief in you and your writing. -- Matthew

I lost my dad 4 Octobers ago and your words just resonate so strong with how I still feel. Thank you so much for sharing.

This year my father-in-law passed so hubby is entering year 1 of life without his dad. And last year my grandma died 2 days before Christmas, so I get ya.

Thanks for sharing, John. I remember us discussing in the comments this past year that I come from a similar background. My mom died of cancer in late October when I was 13, which is now 33 years ago. She was also my biggest supporter. I hope you find some time for making happy memories this Thanksgiving. 🦃
