Hi Elyse, I’m just a random person from the internet reading your words, but I want to say, your essay moved me deeply. I can only imagine how proud your mom must have been of your talents-you are a phenomenal writer. As I think about what kind of a mom I want to be for my kids, I’ll think of this line often: “She was always waiting in the wings or the bleachers, cheering on my mediocrity.” Thank you for sharing these memories through your writing ❤️
"She was the sun. She made everything warm" is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said about anyone. 💜
Oh, you <3
