Before I take flight to Tbilisi, Georgia for the Art & Travel Film Festival, I came to be with my mama.
Today she asked me, “Am I going with you?”
My heart.
I told her it was a business trip, yet what I could feel beneath her words was her deep desire to still be part of the adventure.
For so many years, my mom was there. Front row at my dances, my work, my creations & my wild journeys. She was my biggest cheerleader. Always witnessing. Always believing in me. Always ready to come along for the DANCE
Dementia is such a tender heartbreak. The words change. The memories blur. The person we love becomes harder to reach in the ways we once knew.
Yet love remains.
The heart still speaks.
The Soul still recognizes.
Connection finds another language.
Now I get to sit beside her, remember for both of us & carry our love forward.
So no, mama may not be boarding the plane with me this time…
Yet in every way that matters, she is coming with me. ✈️❤️🦅
