You see, since then I have spent some very special time with my mom. Through music, I’ve discovered that the people we’ve lost aren’t lost at all. And the holes their absence leaves inside us are not meant to be filled by someone or something else. Instead, they are intentional, mindful places meant for us to go, to take refuge, to reconnect and reunite with our loved ones—to find them there, still interested, still invested, and somehow still involved in the details of our lives. That is where I found my mom.
