Yesterday was All Souls‘ Day, a time to remember those who have died—so this #ThoughtfulThursday is a lovely opportunity to extend that remembrance. I‘m remembering my mom, who passed away in April. This picture is from her 85th birthday in March—a little over two weeks after this celebration, she was placed on hospice. My mother taught me to read when I was 3 years old—it‘s thanks to her that I‘ve been reading longer than I can remember. ⤵️
