Hi Reader! Today, Colorado 4News reported that a first-time mom, Taylor Masilotti, had the wherewithal to share her unborn baby via ultrasound with her dying mother. The video captures Taylor and her mom, laying in the same hospital bed so that Taylor’s mom could “meet” her grandchild before it was too late. Taylor’s mom ended up dying, just three days after the filming.
Taylor said that when her daughter ultimately grows up, she might cherish being able to see her grandmother loving her before she was even born. Is this a heartwarming way of preserving this memory? What are your comments about this video and it being shared on national news? Do you find it sweet, or have some other feeling about it?
This is an incredibly beautiful memory . Such a beautiful way to close your eyes, and for subsequent generations to be able to see both forward and back.
Indeed, Maxine! Your comment reminds me of the African word Sankofa. Translation* of the word and the symbol is “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.” Translation
