Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful-you are an amazing story teller! So human and full of love. Made me miss my mom, but in a really good way.

Absolutely love this! I was reminded of my own mother's laughter and her ability to face disease, and even death, with a fist in its face. Laughter truly is the best medicine. My mom used to make jokes about her burial that she was sure my brother would miss. "Make sure you call him before they put me in the ground," she'd laugh.
