I was thinking about how cool it is that you and I are able to

support each other and love on one another and be empathetic towards one another when we are

going through two like polarizingly different experiences on Mother's Day, you've lost your mom so tragically and

horrifically. And I've lost my mom by choice. You lost your mom tragically and horrifically

too, though, I think I would say, at her own hands, but still. Thank you. It's really cool

and something I was thinking about on Mother's Day that we are both

able to acknowledge each other's experience and be there for one another and hold space for one another,

even though we have such different histories with our own mothers and journeys to this place,

we can still relate a lot so much through other things to each other.

Also, I really want to direct listeners to the episode that Amy just did on what came next.

It came out the Friday before Mother's Day. It's an update episode about Amy facing her brother, her mom's murderer, in court, and reading her victim impact statement

for the first time after 16 years of waiting.
