The everlasting impact of losing a Mother
This year marks the seventeenth anniversary of my Mother’s passing, on the 14th of September, 2006. There’s a commonly uttered sentiment that time will eventually lessen the ache, a sentiment I find more poetic than true. As was so poignantly expressed to me at the time of her passing, “Losing your mother is the edge of the sword.”
A line that’s become a part of my grieving lexicon.

In the tapestry of my lineage, one thread stands out in particular – a line woven with the grace of genius and the wisdom of simplicity. A thread that traces its way back to a small village in Wales.
