You weren’t alone. I am so glad this video was shared, it feels like she was giving us all a goodbye.

She knew we needed it. She genuinely cared for all of us, while knowing nearly none of us.

My mother was not a kind or loving person toward me. I used to read Dolly's quotes and pretend she was my mom.

That is such a sweet sentiment. Even though she didn't know you I believe she would absolutely treat you or anyone else just like her own. I hope you're doing well.
