"My mother died when I was 18, but what I will always admire most about her was her absolute love for and commitment to living. Thinking about her makes me think of colour and good food and laughing and just all the best things of life, because those were the things she treasured most. She spent months and years of her youth travelling and doing crazy sh*t (sorry, mom) that not many people have the courage to do in their life. She loved the outdoors and was permanently tanned and wrinkled (she would forgive me for saying so) from spending her lunch breaks at the pool swimming every day for years. She ran into people she loved and laughed with no matter how far we travelled. She covered our walls with art and ate popcorn for dinner at least once a week because she liked it, and she cooked the best meals in the world, mostly without recipes but never without lots and lots of flavour. She was passionate about everything and was so deeply invested in the best of life, and for that I will always admire her and be thankful for her and love her." — Bryce
