Always remarkable - I loved this. Especially the imagery of your mum drawing the eye with a tear and the collage !!! I can see all those women in you 💚

such beautiful words- makes me think of myself, my mother, my foremothers. I’ve been quietly writing about the women before us for some time now, and this encapsulates how so many of us feel. thank you for this!!🍀

Absolutely loved the repetition of this line - “The idea is terrifying and lung-stopping in its mystery.” Added so much depth to an already well written piece. Go ahead Andy!!!
