Felt as if I was with you. So many physical details and observations brilliantly laced with so much emotion. Your mom was memorable, funny, welcoming, and beautiful.
Jamie, thank you for writing this and sharing. You are such a good writer and you are such a good daughter. Passenger, yes, a traveler who does not bear the responsibilities for the tasks to arrive at the destination!
Vivid and real. Thank you Jamie for giving me another perspective, or two?

Wow, that’s somehow both searing and gentle! Brava!
So beautiful, Jamie.
Thank you ❤️
Beautiful piece. You’ve really captured so much about this end of life waiting game, when time becomes strangely elastic and nonlinear.
Thanks so much for reading, Anne!
Beautifully written. It tugs at my heart. I miss her
