Yeah. My mom died before my 1st birthday & I lost my closest aunt a couple years ago to cancer. I think mine would be them helping pit away NY son's laundry. We'd weed through the stuff that's too small and laugh about our favorite outfits on him. And they'd each have something they saw in the store that they just HAD to buy him. Just that moment of shared motherhood would be my choice.

That's lovely, Brittany. Thank you for sharing it. It's remarkable how it really is the most mundane of memories that stick with us, even in fantasy. I don't need to imagine my dead father telling me important things, such as how proud he is of me. I just want to watch him barbecuing chicken on the grill in his backyard.
