and that is nice to know.
i have heard wonderful things about hospice workers and the care that is taken with the families they assist. (my mother & i never reached that point--by the time her doctors finally agreed to let my mom do hospice--since they thought she had over six months to live and therefore wasn't qualified--we scheduled her to come home a week later on my birthday. as it turned out i brought her ashes home on my birthday.)
i smiled when i read the rationale for your mom's ankle tattoo--boy, that was really figuring things out, wasn't it?
thank you for sharing that idea about the stars being like campfires. i've never heard that before and the imagery that it creates is beautiful. i hope i always remember that.
take good care.
