This is a lovely piece of writing, thank you for sharing it. It makes me think about all of the complicated and loving relationships that I have watched between old people over the years, which are sometimes immensely frustrating but sometimes very touching. As Mark Zusak wrote, "Human beings. So much love, so much pain. Just add water."
This might be the most concise & beautiful testament I've ever read to how devastatingly, beautifully complicated we are in relationship to one another.
I LOVE this so much. I agree with Ashley - it reads like poetry. I especially like the finite details which truly let the reader sit in this complicated world and absorb all the feels. Super.
Stunning piece of writing - so illustrative of the complication of love and family. It was an honor to read this and to think about my own complicated journey. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful. Final lines, simple, poetic and true. It’s a generous reminder for all of us. Thank you.

This is the best thing I've read all summer, possibly all year. Thank you for sharing the beauty and the pain.
And then I sobbed. Thank you for writing.
