She got to teach you unconditional love, companionship, loyalty, protection, motherhood, Raison d'être, and the breadths and depths of feeling through grief? What a teacher! What a hairy-browed, goat-dog, furry linebacker, grandmother sage, Soul teacher of the highest.
Previously, I thought that the truest description of grief I had ever read was by C.S. Lewis : "No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing", in his book, A Grief Observed. But yours surpasses his, Leigh. I have always considered you a great writer, but now I see that to be that, you have to feel, translate and express - and wow have you done it. So sorry about sweet Ellie!
