Being poly gave me two mothers in (and out of) law. Since they both were under 1.50 meter (less than 5 feet) I didn't feel that was too much. Now there is only one left. Yesterday we said goodbye to HMM's mother. She's been going strong till last summer, when she fell ill and had a small tia. Never really recovered from that.

HMM and I took care of the music and by coincidence found a wounderful song by Anne Sofie von Otter: I walk with you, mama. It is a song from Benny Andersson from ABBA: Stockholm by night. Lovely music, great lyrics. There were other songs as well, but I wanted to share this one.

HMM's brother and his youngest uncle both talked at length about their memories of Ma (Aadje). I heard many things I didn't know and wish I had known before and talked about with her.
