What a beautiful story about the amazing person that Julie was! I miss and think of her every day as I'm sure you do. She loved you so much Rohini and you two did have a special bond that many Mothers and daughters will never have. Better to have that for a short time than a long life without it.

Thank you Aunt Beth, hope you're doing well <3 I'm so glad she had you as a sister, whenever I think about you two catching up, drinking wine and laughing it makes me smile. She cherished your relationship so very much

I read this at my grandmother’s bedside as she is preparing to leave this human world. Your thoughts on grief have greatly helped to shape my perspective in this moment. She gave endless love to her children, grandchildren, and anyone she met. I feel deeply grateful to be in her life and have her in my heart for the rest of my time.

From the high plains of Kansas, with a heart swollen to bursting with love 💛🌾

I smiled while reading this while also feeling an ache. You write about her in a. way that makes me feel as though I knew her. Your words felt like a warm hug, like a sunbeam streaming through a window and dancing on the floor, and I imagine that is a bit of what she was like. So beautiful you can carry on her memory and feel her closeness each day.
