April 5, 1947 - October 20, 2006
I wanted you to see something about her –
I wanted you to see what real courage is,
instead of getting the idea that courage
is a man with a gun in his hand.
It's when you know you're licked before you begin,
but you begin anyway
and you see it through no matter what. […]
She was the bravest person I ever knew.
Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird

I'm thinking of you. I know you have inherited your mother's bravery, and wish for yourself and A to have some peace. You have both endured some terrible times and held each other up. May you continue to be strong xx
