April 12, 2023 at 2:21 pmHow to leave a tribute for your Mother?
I was so lucky to have her, she provided stability & warmth – and instilled me with deep curiosity for the planet on which we live. Our walks in nature together, asking questions and exploring Natural Sciences was an essential part of my childhood.
Not only was she amazing with her cooking, interior & landscape design, architecture (she designed & built a house, down to the last electrical outlet), she was practical – gardening, repairing appliances (“tinker” runs in her family), and participating in Church, University and Women’s societies.
She was gentle but fierce.
I’ll miss you, Mom.
