   Thank you for sharing your short story I thought you captured the feeling of a mother’s nostalgia brilliantly. I started feeling it while reading. I wish when the when the time comes, I could just slip away…..

   Profound . Excellent writing that created a safe place for tough life issues . Amazing how the Author was able to distill the ending of life with the bread and butter that fill ones best days .
   The story paints a picture that is that is rare . Each character was treated with respect and kindness . They did not rail or judge , themselves or others . This is a road map for living a whole life , no matter if you are young or old. This story breathes a healthy welcome to embracing and then walking through what it means to be a human being . E.V. Legters is a spot on writer that makes each word meaningful.

   Hello old friend, thanks for a story that must (and does) resonate with every mother (parent?) whose life has moved away from her/them. All that was, that seemed so immutable, is inexplicably gone.

   Miss you.
   Alice
