My Fat Friend, you are a treasure and i look forward to all your writing.

my beautiful fat mother died three years ago. she was with us for 78 years, and left far too early, from the same cardiac arrhythmia that took both her (thin) brothers. she was loved by so many, and she loved fiercely, amazingly, with all her broken heart. she taught me what love is. what it means to care for another person, to have compassion, to understand that difference is okay but treating someone as “lesser than” is not. it is a powerful and inspiring thing, to be a voice for others, at the same time others would discount that voice. you do it well.
