A few days ago, I realized I’ve missed your writing/your voice.

I visited the bottom of your last post that I read and medium shows me what I haven’t read of yours.

At the bottom were three pieces and the last was this one at 8 minutes. I don’t normally lean to the longer as life is busy and I feel “rushed” often….which is perhaps a problem of itself.

But—

Once I got to the middle of this—I was crying so deeply….I don’t know that I’ve ever cried so much reading a medium article. I had to look away just to have the moment to —feel.

And I kept asking myself—why am I moved to such depths?!!…..

I’ve been writing some journals secretly to my sons…I’ll gift it to them one day. And I find myself recently—struggling with letting go—of expectations of their futures of how their life will unfold…

And I think the deep love you two had for each other and the letting go so that you could go on to live your life and yet the appreciation/admiration and how you carried her—just touched me/touches me so profoundly.

I’m still crying as I text this comment. But—

I share this all—

Because as you dearest beautiful mother wrote—

You did build up that love that became a mountain—that has spread out and reach far ends of the earth and through your writing—
She and your love I hope will always live and inspire us all—

To love and let go —as you both have.

Thank you for this piece.

It is 1000% under appreciated and I think you should delete and republish in a publication that boosts articles—because this is simply by far one of the best moving pieces ever.

Okay I’m biased…but still lol—
Thank you!
And to the Terry writer—BRAVO!!!!
