At first, I was giggling out loud, then fighting back the tears, and was left feeling loving and fuzzy by the end. Liv and Delilah are cosmically matched so brilliantly.

They are. As much as they like to fight it, they belong together.

Linzi, I knew the big move was happening and had heard from you some of the challenges. This gives me so much more. Your storytelling is a real gift, to you and to anyone who reads your poems, stories or "op-eds". The Mother Load is a great story told with humor, respect and love. Thanks for sharing this very personal time in your/Liv's life.

This brought tears to my eyes for the parallels to my experience with not only my mom, but my own experience. You are such a great daughter "Liv"!

This is a beautiful read. I felt for sure a friendly sheriff was going to pull you over for a tail light out and discover your arsenal of goodies! 😳

They’re such good names! And I hadn’t made that connection. That’s so fun!

Another great story - and so well told. I could feel your emotions and your mom’s so vividly. You’re a gifted storyteller. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

And when the time comes that your dad and I have to do MAJOR downsizing, I hope you’ll write our story and be just as motivational (!) and kind.

I promise to be. Maybe try to space it out though. 🥰
