I remember so clearly shopping for my mother’s last dress knowing she was so ill with kidney cancer that she was ready to leave us. It was the last gift that I could give to her in the physical world, a dress, so I choose her favorite color: sky blue to match her beautiful Irish eyes. But it broke my heart accepting the reality that I wouldn’t be looking into them much longer.
Thank you, Heidi and Deborah. This was an important and tender video.
