Nice job dear. On that stage & in life with your family. Thank you & best wishes.

What a rich tapestry of memories you’ve painted—your childhood sounds like it was filled with vibrant, sophisticated energy. It must have been incredible to watch your mother transform herself so elegantly, and to have such a front-row seat to those moments. It’s easy to see how those experiences would inspire a deep appreciation for style and individuality in you.

My God! THANK YOU for this! Your love for your Mother, your wisdom, and most of all your vulnerability to share your journey. She’s so blessed to have you! BEST Moth episode EVER? 💜💜
