Remember those leave piles in your back yard? Did you jump into them? Did you hide inside them and let the fall sun tickle your skin?
When I lived in the US with my parents and my sister, I had the possibility to enjoy a real autumn (actually quite a few), not one of those cold soggy ones I am used to in Europe. No, it was a fall with golden leaves, squirrels hiding nuts, dears eating crabapples, warm October days…
Watching all these events unfold lead my always creative mother to write a book illustrated with water paints. A present for my sister, and a happy memory spiced up with a little magic.
But see for yourself, the story written in 2002 is slowly unfolding on @themusicinyou_ my mother’s post humous Instagram channel. Can you tell who’s who?
Missing you!
Live the Music that plays within you!

Cool story. I guess I knew this, but it is odd to think that I am more in your mom’s generation than yours. I am sorry you lost her. It is great that she is still in the fight using her art to combat HPV cancer.
