Mother (Ted Kooser)
I read the last sentence at my grandmother's funeral. I have e-mailed this to friends who have lost a parent or someone dear. I love the notion that even though someone is gone, if it had not been for what they taught you "you would have to be lonely forever."

Delighted it resonated with you!
It captures grief along side gratitude in such a beautiful way. Glad it moved you.
That's how I feel too, even reading it for the umpteenth time.
I looked it up thanks to your rec. He is such a master at taking the seemingly mundane and making it so much more.
