Thank you Mickey for such a beautiful and moving post, it resonated with me on a deep level. My mom recently passed in November at age 83 and I too wrote a tribute to her that was incredibly healing -- http://renaissancelearner.c...
Although our relationship was complex like yours and I too had been given the gift of making amends and experiencing deepening love after several of her near death experiences due to cardiovascular disease over the years, it wasn't until I started writing the tribute and really took time to reflect on everything I'd learned from her that I began to fully appreciate her in a whole new light. She touched so many people in simple ways and I realize how much her spirit lives on in me and those who were blessed to be around her.
Your mom was a remarkable woman, I'd love to see Edna the movie! Thank you for sharing your experience on this journey with your mom.
