It's been 10 years since I lost my Mother to Cancer. It's impossible to capture my mom in words unless I had the time to write a novel. Above all things, she was good, she was kind and she loved her kids more than anything. I couldn't be more grateful for the time we had together.

Separation

BY W. S. MERWIN

Your absence has gone through me

Like thread through a needle.

Everything I do is stitched with its color.
