Thank you for sharing your daughter with us, Amy. Marielle weaves her words so beautifully. I was quite touched. She reminded me that I, too, was pulled closer into spirituality after losing a loved one. My dad passed away in 2020 and strangely (beautifully) I feel closer to him now. I have a hard time saying that to my other family members who are grieving the loss still alongside me yet it feels true. Reading her words, I can tell Marielle carries her dear friend with her still.
And birds. I find myself watching them and wishing I had their view. Perhaps I should consider parasailing. 💕
I just want to take this opportunity to declare my deep admiration and respect for these 2 great women, mother and daughter, it is remarkable the talent they possess, and the way they unfold in beautiful words and moving stories. It takes a real alchemical process to transform painful events into teachings and lessons of wisdom. That is the great power of choice we all have when we face a crisis. That is also why I have always loved Jean Paul Sartre's phrase: "Freedom is what we do with what is done to us".
Esteban, I am so moved by this beautiful tribute to me & Marielle & our writing, and love for telling our stories in words & poems that we hope can touch another soul. That is a beautiful quote from Sartre. I believe that to be true 💗
