"We miss you," Hannah added softly. 202. Tears fell, but with a gentle smile now. 203. They found peace in knowing she was watching over them. 204. Life moved forward. 205. But the bond they shared with Dorothy never weakened. 206. She had left them a legacy of love. 207. And they held onto it dearly. 208. Every time Katherine saw platform sandals, she smiled. 209. Remembering her mother’s elegance and grace. 210. Hannah, while cooking, felt her mother’s presence guiding her. 211. They found their own ways to keep her memory alive. 212. Dorothy had lived a full and loving life. 213. She had left a mark that time could never erase. 214. Her daughters were her pride and joy. 215. Even in their flawed relationship, love was always at the core. 216. And that love continued to grow, even after her passing. 217. Dorothy’s story was a reminder. 218. To cherish loved ones. 219. To forgive and to love unconditionally. 220. For life is fleeting, and love, eternal.
