I feel as if I'm living in a muffling fog, and not just because of the hydra-headed cold I've been battling since Friday. On Sunday I talked to my sister in Tauranga and she said my birth mother was fading gently, but the end came much sooner than we expected - she died peacefully at 7.30 this morning. So I'll be going up soon for the funeral. I'm so glad I had that final visit with her at the end of June.
One of the first things I thought of was that now she, like Harvey, will never get to read (or at least have read to her) my food memoir. It's going to be published early next year as an original e-book by Awa Press, the very first one that they will do this way, rather than in print. So I'll be writing more about that as soon as I get myself properly back together again.

I'm sorry Anne. Wishing you and your family a beautiful celebration of her life.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was a peaceful end, on a pretty spring morning.
ReplyDeleteHow sad, to have her passing on, even though it was gentle and peaceful. I hope your cold clears before you travel. Sending you condolences, and love.
