its been haunting me, there is so much in there that reminds me of my mother, i can even smell her home when i was very young we would “bond” over Lucy and Lawrence Welk, it just brought up so much emotion since i first read it. if it dont make you feel, it aint art! this is a gift to me, so thank you 🙂
