You worked at dot-to-dots in the hospital while I went to school.
“There are never enough dots,” you raged.
Last night, I looked at the sky and thought: You will never run out again. Then I taped an extra star to my window, just in case you do.
Joanna Norland is a Canadian playwright and writing coach based in East Sussex, UK. She is the author of “Lizzy, Darcy and Jane,” and “Mothers Have Nine Lives,” and writes about the intersection of writing and parenthood on www.mumswrite.com.
A thoughtful memento to leave an extra star for the one who’s gone. Dot-to-dots connect us all. Wonderfully written!
What a beautiful way to remember someone. This is one of my favorite pieces I have seen on this website so far!
I so love this piece. I will look at the starry sky of Vermont much closer, now.
Sublime. Congratulations!
