Wow - Eko - this was comforting to read...thank you. The sincerity of the conversations held, and what you learned from your mother, tells me that as families we do have an impact on each other and even our extended family. We should have these conversations just as soon as we start to grow up and truly understand that as time goes by we either gain or lose attachment to objects.

As you said - we all truly learn from these situations...makes us more aware of how there are truly different layers to human beings that we just don't think to notice when we are younger.

Your last line will stay with me - and I fully embrace that...having been thought of more than suffices and is 100% so much more valuable.

Thanks for opening up your heart and sharing this with me. You are so appreciated Eko. Much love to you!
