Notes from the Hill's avatar

I feel like we have covered a lot of the same territory with our parents. The burial deed in my book gave me a similar train of thought. Then my stepmom passed last Nov and she's being buried in Maine. But the ground is frozen šŸ˜• so we have to wait until May. Appreciate your insights so much. Love your writing.

Sorry for the late reply. Been buried deep in editing.

I’m so sorry about your stepmom. Having to wait until May because the ground is frozen feels like such a hard, suspended space to be in.

Thank you for sharing that with me, and for your kind words about my writing.

I love your piece! Good work! It was definitely a different shopping experience than usual, even more philosophical. Have a nice day and let's read each other if you like!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

And yes, it was a different kind of shopping. Shopping for a grave changes your whole mindset for a while. It makes everything feel quieter and more philosophical whether you want it to or not.

I’d love to read your work too. Where should I start?
