Kitty, this is such a beautiful and tender remembrance. What moved me most was that the communication with Flora began with noticing — with your willingness to be fully present to what had shifted before any words were exchanged. That kind of attention is sacred. Even through advanced Alzheimer’s, something essential in Flora remained clear, responsive, and deeply known. Your exchange with her is such a powerful reminder that the true self is not erased by illness, and that at the end — and truly throughout life — what matters most is love. Thank you for sharing her, and this moment, with such reverence.

Thank you, Judy for reading and for seeing Flora. Those moments with her will stay with me always. It wasn't until recently that the true depth of her lessons emerged for me. She continues to teach me years after she passed! Love is an energy without end or beginning! Love is!
