By sheer coincidence the care staff had dressed her a in orange and white (and I showed up that day in orange and white) and I felt my whole heart almost explode at the thought that there was a time when she held me hand when I was a little girl, protecting me as we walked. If I were to let go, she'd be lost and confused. At the time, I was childless and I had the exact thought in my head. My heart goes out to you. You are a good daughter.
