I had never been very close with my own mother growing up. When I lost her to cancer at the tender age of 8, I had always wished that we had more time.

We’d sip herbal teas and clink our teacups after the many practice sessions I received in the playroom. Walking through the high tea room hand-in-hand, I gulped the lump in my throat and smiled. I knew my mother was sharing this moment with us.
