Victoria, thank you for this deeply moving poem. My mom passed in October and, as I sat with her, my attention seemed to keep returning to her hands so I was taken with your line about your Grandmother's hands.

Donna, first of all: I am sorry for your loss. Second of all I am deeply honoured that my words reached you and touched you. That is really all I can ask for as someone living for the power of poetry. Thank you for reading.
