When I began this project, my hopes for it were somewhat modest, but important.Β I shared images from my motherβs life on Facebook β tiny slices of her then almost 74 years as a daughter, a summer camper, a counselor, a student, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a friend, a teacher, a philanthropist, a passionate theatregoer, and a lover of language (to name only a few). I had hoped to create a living and breathing portrait, one that would both delight and remind my mom of the wonderful life she had lived and the range of people she had impacted and influenced.Β I also had hoped that in sharing these images, each day from February 1, 2018βone month after her diagnosis of metastatic pancreatic cancerβ until January 13, 2019, the day following her woefully untimely death, I could somehow create and fuel a community of supporters to nurture those memories and to engage my mom in an online conversation that could buoy her spirits and positively occupy her time.Β I set out to harness the immediacy, range, and force of social media for good.Β And it worked.
