About a week before mom died she made a point of thanking me for bringing
Maddie to see her and Big as much as I did.
I was very deliberate in taking her to see them.
I wouldn't have been able to tell you why I was so drawn to do it.

And this.
Maddie loved her Great-grandma and her Meme and not just for the endless

Her love and the people she loved didn't change just because they
looked a little worse for wear.
Maddie helped walk mom and Big home in her own way,
totally accepting them as they were right to the end.
