- Transcription
- with Kelly's Mom, I must totally depend on the invisible as a way to connect with and comfort her. We cannot talk, confusions or touch or see one another due to COVID-19. I can write mantrams, say prayers, comfort her son, honor her with kind words and happy memories. I can honor her by trying to imagine what her life may have been like. Married to Kelly's dad.
