My mom, also an artist, took me to Fantasia as a small girl as well and I recall being astounded by the dancing broomsticks! I am hesitant to re-watch it...preserving this memory of my mom and me seems best for now. Mom passed away from Alzheimer’s in 2021 but her spirit lives on each time I see her beautiful illustrations. Thank you for this emotional piece.

I remember that scene! The storm in the cellar...memories can be so vibrant. I'm so sorry about your loss, and am glad she lives on with you in such a beautiful way. Thank you for sharing and connecting, Amie. We're not alone.

Seneca's consolations letters are very powerful. In this letter, he wrote to a woman called Marcia who had lost her son. I hope you find this old wisdom helpful:

I've sought consolation from Seneca's words before—I will now, again. Thank you so much, Dante.
