What an amazing story. I am glad that you were able to build a better relationship with your mom later on. I love the rotated stacked papers and your border clusters are stunning.
That's really a great pic of your mom to go with her well told story. What a wonderful hobby we have that allows us to create something like this that is not just beautiful, but deeply meaningful. I think this will touch anyone who takes the time to read it. I'm glad I did. Your clusters are so beautiful and you placed them to not take away attention from your story, but not as an afterthought. I like how they sit perfectly on the matching subtly patterned paper. aloha!
