19. I have cried many times for your mother.

Dec 2011

The iconic photo of her (so strong of your family to allow its publication) softened many hard hearts back in the day. She had so much to live for and to think of all she lost is heartbreaking. Her death defined the deepest meaning of choice because she didn't have one. I'm sure what she wanted most was to get back home to her children.

I'm glad I survived, too. We must never let your mother's sacrifice (and your sacrifice) be forgotten.
