Hi Kirk,
Lesli just told me about your mom’s passing. I know it’s been a long and difficult path to get to this point, but The End is always sad. It’s hard to witness a pivotal figure in your life steadily diminish in front you, and I’m sure you’ve experienced a range of emotions about Gale of late.
Sadly, the outcome is always assured with a terminal illness. You put in the time and effort, and your family did too. I imagine there were times when you didn’t feel like going, and yet you still turned up. Also, Oliver flew up to be with her (and you) at the end, which speaks volumes about him, and you all as a family. That’s something you can take a lot of pride in and draw comfort from.
Finally, I hope that you’ll remember her as a parent who loved you and tried to do her best by you, and also the better times you had together when you were all younger.
With love,
Your Brooklyn Family xxox
