I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I have a vivid memory of playing at your house one day in 5th grade. Your mother had what I describe now as authentic elegance. It felt strong and calm, not superficial, even to the 10 year-old me. I remember that she wore her hair in a french twist, which I'd not seen before. On the short drive home I asked my mom how to make a french twist. I'm also glad to still be in touch. And I hope your visit is peaceful. Give the town a hi from me - I haven't been back since 1988 when my mom died.

Thanks for this, Aimee - she's one of my sheroes.
