oh, I genuinely don't have the words to describe how beautiful this is but I'm not afraid to admit I cried more than once before I reached the end. I don't know if you showed this to your momma, but there's something so profoundly important about the reflection here and I hope you know she's so lucky to have you.

Chills chills chills, you have such a resonant way with words when it comes to the the silence of family. I love the imagery of silence a wall she kept trying to climb.
