Postcard verso:

Dear Emily,
     Your poem
Hope is the thing
with feathers
is the last
thing I wrote to
my daughter in a
letter before she
died by suicide 
at the age of 30
in March 2017.

Here she is at age 7 with her
beloved
feathered
friend. 
——————
And still I never lose hope.
                           <3  Amy
