She had great admiration and respect for her mother. For all the women in her family.  They were strong, funny, and adaptable.   They were very adaptable. They had learned very an early age to bend and twist to reach the light in their lives. To be positive no matter what the winds brought them.

She was so sad to have buried her mom today. But it was a fabulous service and overall everyone was excited to see what the next stage would bring.

The transfer of her consiousness to the leaves had gone well and the next step would go according to the protocol handed down the centuries from family member to family member. She would live on in this configuration until a suitable body was found. Then transformation would be complete and they could be a family once more.
