This is such a beautiful tribute to your lovely mother. She taught you that your life would never be the same once you had your children, I wonder if she told you that having children makes the world, our world a better, more purposeful life. I love every word you write dear Caroline!

Thank you so much Laura! She did, absolutely--she was not a bullshitter and so she spoke to the hard parts but she lived the love, the purpose, the joy, the presence!!

Ok, I was going to write the same lines Zig wrote. 50 is like an hop away! 🙈

And also “passed away”— so glad you called that BS out.

Another beautiful tribute to all that is true and real about mom and her birthday and her womb and her mothering.

what a strange thing

to realize now, how young you really were

the way I learned to carve pumpkins on the last night of your life

you are “my Carolina” the call I miss the most
