This one made me cry. I bet her reaction to the ladybug rumination would be along the lines of "Damn, I'd rather be alive..." but I wouldn't bet money I couldn't afford to lose.
Your mom sounds like she was loads of fun at her best and cantankerous at her worst. My mum was treated for lymphoma as her end approached, but she died at 94. Graham died way too young, and I had only discovered him about 5 years before. At least with authors, their words and thoughts live on. Happy Solstice 🌝🌻🏖️

Robyn, I agree with you!
And you can just HEAR those "DAMN"s!
Yep, a two-syllable "damn"
😆

"loads of fun at her best and cantankerous at her worst"--yep, that was her in a nutshell, and she'd love this description!
Another lover of Graham's work! Such a loss.
