It's wonderful for me to embody my mother...so the memory is visceral. Do you have that experience?

I'm so pleased to be given the opportunity to speak to your readers, Alice, and to revive this piece which goes back a few years. My mother remains with me, in me and around me.

I wonder how it works across genders. I have fond memories of my father but not in my skin.

Thank you, Robin. It seemed that focusing on the body brought the memories deeper and allowed them to have a real life in the present.
