Last night (after we’d spoken only an hour earlier), my mother called me out of the blue just to tell me she loved me, and “Happy Mother’s Day,” and when we hung up she didn’t say her usual “speak to you later,” but instead she said, “bye.”
Now she’s gone. She died peacefully at home, just as she wanted to, on her own terms. Always on her own terms. I will never not miss her.
