What a beautiful letter to such a strong miracle of a woman. Such a gift for both of you to have said these things and to know them together. And for her legacy to be captured in such a gorgeous tribute that she could take with her and you can carry on. And, alongside that, such a heartbreaking loss. I am so sorry. ❤️
What an awesome "Ma", Avivah. I am sure she lives by your side and at your back as you evolve in your awesomeness as a mom and grandmother. Beautiful Love Letter. Sorry for your loss. RIP.
Love. When it shows up and stays and carries on, well, it is transformative. As I read your words I am imagining what they mean't to your Mum. Talk about love, resilience, creativity, hope, JOY. You place us there with your words and your ability to express your love. It is the way forward and there you are, holding hands with your Ma, and leading us all there. Just so very, very, very grateful. Holding your hands in ours. We are all in this together. I am grateful for your leadership in bringing us together here Avivah. There is love.
Oh Avivah - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mum sounds like an amazing woman - and what wonderful pictures of her - thank you for sharing. You are the picture of her! I am sure you hear that a lot. Such a lovely letter to write to her. During this summer my 21 year old daughter unexpectedly left a card on my desk saying how much she loved and admired me - it is my most treasured possession and keeps me going on those days when I think I am a crap mum!. Please be kind and look after yourself in these coming weeks and months. While your mum lived a long life and you appeared to have made this final phase so loving for her, it will still be a heart wrenching time for you and your family.
Beautiful! Just a few hours ago we were informed that my mom is in her final decent. Could be months, could be less. Your ending words are lovely and I will reread them and share them with family during this time. Thank you
Such a beautiful celebration of your mom's life and influence in the generations to come. I have been thinking a lot about ancestry and your piece made me wonder about all the souls that came before your mother that led her to be who she was. It goes without saying that it also reminded me of my own mother who left us too early. Thank you for sharing this piece.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My mom’s birthday is September 19. She died 12 years ago at 83. I was by her side. I’m so happy for you that you had such precious time with her the last few months. ~Vici in Vienna
Avivah- what a beautiful piece of writing and tribute to your Mom. My mom died right after I turned 10. She told me on her death bed that although I was the baby in the family - 2 much older sisters- she was not at all concerned about me. She knew I would take good care of myself - I would be the rock in the family. I found great peace and love in your tribute. Thanks for sharing it. Pat Pinto
What a lovely and touching tribute! The best of her IS imprinted on your heart and mind Avivah. When you are missing her, tap into that energy. Since losing my mother nine years ago, the saving grace is knowing she gave me all the goods to keep going in this life and her spirit lives on in the stories we tell about her. Thank you for sharing your mum with us. Sending love and sympathy your way. XOXO

Absolutely wonderful.
A beautiful tribute. Thank you for letting us know just a little about an evidently amazing woman.

That's a lovely piece, especially on this sad national day in the UK as we bury the Queen.
May her memory be a blessing. Thank you for sharing these beautiful sentiments.
