She had a wicked sense of humor.
Mm-hmm.
I think those are two qualities that I would hope to emulate from her.
She was very self-contained, very private.
Sometimes I wish she hadn't been so private until at the end when she was dying.
I think much was revealed.
That's where she found her freedom, was I think through her illness, where then she could proclaim her own voice, her own truth.
Before my mother died, she...
I said to her, I'm leaving you all my journals.
And she told me where they were exactly.
And I remember being in bed with her, rubbing her back, and it was a wicked storm outside.
And she died a week later under a full moon.
And about three weeks later, I went and found her journals exactly where she said they would be.
Three shelves full, each one beautifully individual, leather,
fabric painted.
I opened the first one, it was empty.
I opened the second one, it was empty.
The third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth.
Shelf after shelf after shelf, all my mother's journals were blank.
I don't get it.
