Is the opening shot your mom? Missing a caption.

Love to you for writing this. Moms are forever unknowable, Cai. I most certainly never knew my own, but for snatches of her which she had a hard time giving me. Intimacy was impossible as was touch. So you are immensely fortunate, ragdoll that you are, to have such ministrations. I salute your journey and most especially your husband, whose great love is woven throughout your days as they wind down, beautiful and difficult as they are, and we get to bear witness to them. Bravo, and tears.
