sad things, loveliness

well, sadly but not unexpectedly, my mom's partner (Jack) died this morning in Vancouver. Because we live so far away, I didn't know him really well. Mostly what I know about him is how he transformed my mom.

Jack was my mom's first true love. They were absolutely beautiful together. He allowed her to see how wonderful and loveable and beautiful she really is. They only had a couple of years together, but what loveliness to see someone you love so much have so much love in her life.

Thank you, Jack. We will all miss you.
