vale

my mother went to her eternal home yesterday, L's daughter writes to me. thank you for looking after her.

i feel relief. L was a frail centenarian in a tired earthly tent.

i feel loss. L was graceful and beautiful despite infirmity.

i feel grief that washes over me unexpectedly.

above all i feel grateful that i walked her final years with her without failing her.
