Thank you. Danielle--Thank you--so glad you stopped by. Robin--I'm so sorry for your loss, and I can imagine how it has sent you a quest for understanding. I'm so glad this story spoke to you. Marilyn–My mom may not have read this yet, but I’ll make sure she does, if only to see your lovely note. Thank you.

Danielle–Thank you–so glad you stopped by.

Robin–I’m so sorry for your loss, and I can imagine how it has sent you a quest for understanding. I’m so glad this story spoke to you.

As someone who lost her mom when she was six, I'm fascinated with the dynamic of mothers and daughters at that age...and the image of you running back and forth between the kitchen was so vivid and powerful.

We are all in your debt. Love, Marilyn Paige: I love this, the things that happen. Also on the subject: when I contributed the TSP post on my sister, I did not ask my mother, though it would certainly be painful for her. I did tell her it was going up, and she read it, and though yes, it was difficult, she was moved and surprisingly pleased. Surely Marion is the go-to voice on memoir, but it seems that telling family stories - and what happens after that - well, you never know. How lovely that your tale appears to have created a new one. The best kind! Dear Paige’s Mom:
