“It has been 7 years since my mom died (but who's counting?? Me, I guess?)

The daughter of the Star Wars icon continued, “I miss her every day but the cliche is also true — she is with me every day — she infuses my joyful moments with even more joy.

And hoping everyone can feel a little sparkle of griefull among all the feelings grief inevitably brings.”
