I appreciated this column so much, because I had such complicated relationships with both my parents, but especially my mom, and much of the time I seem to be surrounded by people who love their parents unreservedly so much so that develop complex ideas about being with the eternally in the hereafter, a thought that would terrify me if I thought there really was a hereafter. Plus I love cheese cake too.

This reminded me of a Star Trek Voyager episode where the doctor takes over Seven's body (mid season 7) and eats food for the first time, namely, a piece of NY cheesecake. It also made me cry (not voyager, this post). Thanks for everything HH! <3
