That quotation from Middlemarch strikes again! My two grandmothers played a significant role in my younger years - I don't even know if they have a gravesite but their influence is baked into me. Loved your parallels with Dickens.
Beautiful. I come again and again to the analogy of death as it nurtures life, hard not to when you are a gardener! Also relate very much to what you've said about the tremendous impact your grandparents have had on your life. I, too, live far from where my own grandparents' remains are buried, but I think of them often and I hope I carry on their "muchness" in my life.
Too bad you have to add an AI disclaimer, but I know people will appreciate knowing that (as I do!)
And yes, it is unfortunate to feel the need to make a disclaimer about AI...but as it seems to be pervading every aspect of our lives, I wanted to articulate clearly my personal stance on it. I hope many writers/artists/creators will take a stand against it!

Thank you, Emma.

Clearly I need to read The Old Curiosity Shop! This is my favorite quote from Middlemarch, and I love what you have to say about it.
Thanks, Sarah!
