Your mother’s kindness toward her sewing machine, her gourd, her apple tree, her compost, her neighbors, her grandchildren is the fruit of a life well-lived. And of her contribution to the great city for which she stands. So beautiful.

I feared that his mother might not make it and I’m so relieved they are both now recovering. Best wishes to them, their family and friends, and Delwar, please continue writing!
