In the final Sitting post, my sweet aunt commented that I have good roots because I came from good roots. Well, I have evidence of the good roots I came from–specifically, my mom’s roots.
When Mom was starting chemo, she asked my father-in-law to make a meditation tape for her of her favorite scriptures. Here’s an excerpt from that email:
