This piece is about a child grieving the loss of their mother, a loving and hardworking woman who stayed strong even when she was sick. The narrator remembers the happiness she brought to the family, from her job as a nurse practitioner to the fun meals she made. Even after being diagnosed with heart cancer, she chose to spend her last months at home with her family instead of receiving treatment that would separate them. Her death leaves a big hole, especially for the father, who hides his own pain. The narrator says that while grief may change over time, it never really goes away—it becomes a quiet reminder of both the loss and the love they had.
