I shot a lily in my garden, ma. The first thing I thought was … mum would have loved it!

That same evening, Auri messaged me. It’s been months since we spoke.

She sent me a photo. A bouquet she was given. It had lilies in it. Her first thought was …. Aunt Bernie would have loved it. She reached out to me to reach out to you.

You are gone, ma; but you will never be forgotten.

I love you.
