The journey of life can never remain the same from the start, no matter how hard we want this to be the case.  'I don't want to leave school', 'I want to be with you forever', etc. 

Things change!  So, the time has come to say goodbye to Claudette | mum | nanny | auntie.

However, our Love - which remains unchanged, can add fuel to the empty tank of hearts that seem to only have space for mourning and sorrow. 

Although, the love of life has stilled for my mother, this is also a crossroads, where the love of memories can start to help with the healing process - through the celebration of life and her legacy.
