Thank you for your kind words. It wasn’t as effortless as I would have liked. The emotion that flowed while writing this was both wonderful and terrible at the same time. I am still struggling with the idea that the beauty of a moment is also in its passing. Transient and eternal at the same time.

Indeed, our habit energy is so strong, it takes a lot to change our perspective. Now with mum gone, I'm starting to be more aware... That it is so true every moment spent with mum was precious and there wd be no repeat in the way that we spoke, felt, laughed, when we were together. Your article came at the right time, Francis. Many thanks for the reminder. Karen also enjoyed reading it. Bless u.
