"What parts of her do I want to keep?" That question is going to stay with me.

My mother is still here but I already see myself sorting through the same things. We used to tease that you couldn't compliment her on her shirt or she'd take it off and give it to you. Last month my daughter raided my closet, and when she came out I told her to keep it. It looked better on her anyway. Some things apparently skip nothing.

This is a lovely tribute to your mom, Alexa. So grateful you shared it. I'm sure you were thinking about her plenty today -- I'm so sorry for your loss. I definitely need to spend more time thinking about the parts of my mom I want to hold onto. ❤️
