Hi Mom.

Hi Mom,

How is it?

To rest.

In the sky, with the stars, on the moon.

How is it?

To Rest in Peace?

Hi Mom,

Your anniversary is coming up,

almost 5 years of being an angel.

Pretty pretty wild.

Pretty pretty sad.

Pretty pretty life.

How is it?

To rest.

In the sky, with the stars, on the moon.

How is it?

To Rest in Peace?

Life out here has been doing its thing.

The kids are growing.

The art is made.

The hearts beat.

Tiny Christmas tree,

And dance party.

We be loving out here.

We be loved, too.

Hi Mom,

Today I am not crying.

Grounded.

Looking at you.

Photo of.

Grateful,

grateful we met.

Gratitude was your last teaching ;

Sunday.

I visit you at the hospital.

You look so fragile it’s hard not to cry.

Tubes to your stomach, you’ve been on a juice diet.

You can’t eat.

Your hair done.

Laughing.

Why are you even laughing?

I laugh too.

Why I am even laughing?

It’s sad, because you die on Tuesday.

And we know it.

And you say you’re tired and you can’t wait for Tuesday to come.

You’re not laughing.

I am holding tears.

Silence.

The nurse comes.

He says.

The nurse comes and he says Madame Desrosiers, you can have ice cream.

Bright eyes, yes please.

The nurse comes back, hands you the ice cream.

One bite in.

Rejoice.

« Not my favorite ice cream! I am so lucky! »

Cheek to cheek smile.

You die on Tuesday.

You know it.

And you say.

I am so lucky.

I am so lucky.

I am so lucky!

Grateful.

One ice cream at the time.

We are so lucky!
