A friend over on Twitter shared a poignant solstice loss poem that reminded me of this one. My mom died of brain cancer, and my husband and I brought her to our Tahoe home to spend her last days in a place she so loved. We spent summers there when I was growing up, and it jogged memories she was losing.
Gorgeous and poignant, a beautiful poem. Sorry for your loss, Ellen. These hurts never truly heal. The longing for reconnection aches forever, only tempered a little by basking in dream memories, the warmth of being together again. My favorite dreams. 💔💖
