Such an amazing piece! I can't believe how busy April 15th, 2001 was for your mom. I loved the way you wrote this story, the inclusion of Dali, yourself and epigenetics was seamless. As someone who often thinks about her future daughters - please, God, make me a mother with two girls, please - I hadn't even factored in epigenetics or the fact that my daughters or some parts of them have been with me ever since. I'm still dealing with the sudden loss of my mother, which happened two years ago, and constantly think about my future children never knowing their grandmother. This piece brought me comfort in knowing that some part of them must've known some part of her too at some point. Thank you so much for writing this!
Thank you for reading Nohémie! I'm honored you were able to relate to my words. I'm honestly tearing up a bit reading your comment, loss is so difficult and I empathize with you, but how comforting it is to know part of your mother will always be, and has always been, with you and generations to come! Take care :) (& i'm also praying to God for daughters hehe)
