“Her true passion in life was loving and raising her family. Being a mother was her lifelong mission.”

—just like Leroy’s

“We’ve only just begun to grieve the space / The space, the space”

—Rose March, Smashing Pumpkins

“You were so good to us” “You were so good to me.”

Tell is like it is, tell us what you see. See it all. Don’t eat too much, but eat fruit, eat pears. Don’t be foolish. Make sure you have a rosary. “That is NOT how you PLAY a PIANO!” Clean up. Listen up. Don’t be late or you’ll get locked out (there’s a clock tower for that). Talk to strangers, talk to friends, talk talk, talk. Take care of your babies, but don’t baby them all. Love your spouse fiercely. Love your family fiercely. Protect your health. Follow doctor’s orders. Do the work. Do what’s right. Do what you think needs to be done. Commit, commit, commit. Plan on heaven. 

^ We got way too much goodness out of Kathleen, and an extra almost-decade. 9.92 years and 13 more great-grandchildren later, she gets to be with her king. May she rest eternally in peace with her beloved plus-one.
