Lakshmi, What a healing essay?! It triggered so many memories of the cars that people drove me in as a child. Thank you for writing this.

Laki, this is so beautiful. It takes me right to the back seat of those vans that so perfectly encapsulate your mom's spirit.

Lakshmi. I forgot to hit send on the text u sent me. You’re writing about mom brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I remember so much filling that car is gas tanks following her with the girls in one car or the other, seeing it in the parking lot at Peninsula, so much joy. Mama was And is a special wonderful woman who I hold is sacred. Thank you so much for writing that miss you girl. Where are you on the planet right now? Love you deeply
