The Duchess brought back an Emilia Wickstead dress for the taping of a BBC program celebrating Commonwealth Day. 
Commonwealth Day is the second Monday of March and is usually marked with a service at Westminster Abbey. Below, the Queen arriving for last year’s service.
Because of the pandemic, this year there is a virtual service. It features HM, who will deliver her annual Commonwealth Day address; the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall; the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge; and the Countess of Wessex. More about HM’s speech via the Commonwealth site.
The theme for the day, ‘Delivering a Common Future’, highlights how the 54 member countries in the Commonwealth are ‘innovating, connecting and transforming’ to help achieve some of its biggest goals, such as fighting climate change, promoting good governance and boosting trade.
The program airs at 5pm local time, noon on the east coast. In the broadcast, the Duchess speaks about the ‘amazing work’ done by frontline workers. More from The Evening Standard.
During the programme, Charles pays tribute to the “extraordinary determination, courage and creativity” of the Commonwealth’s people during the Covid crisis.
In an extract from the programme, Kate and William chat in a video call with Dr Zolelwa Sifumba, from South Africa, an advocate for the rights of healthcare workers on the front line.
The duchess tells the medic: “Here in the UK there’s been masses of public recognition of the amazing work the front line are doing and it’s sad, almost, that it’s taken the pandemic for the public to really back and support all those working on the front line.”
The Daily Mail reports the program will also air on the BBC YouTube channel.
Now for our look at what Kate wore in the video. We first saw the Duchess wearing this Emilia Wickstead dress in November 2019 for an event launching the Emergencies Trust.
The Duchess wore the frock while visiting BBC Broadcast House when working on the launch of Tiny Happy People in July 2020.
And she repeated it when marking Baby Loss Awareness Week in October 2020 with a visit to the Institute of Reproductive and Developmental Biology at Imperial College London.
The ‘Kate dress’ has “a slim-fitting bodice, enhanced with contouring darts above and below the waistband, and falls to a fully lined midi-length A-line skirt.” (The Duchess’s dress is more of a knee-length hemline.)
The Duchess had on a new pair of earrings. Lady Parky tweeted they may be by Zara.
I’m wondering if these Zara ones are a match? The stock image doesn’t show the tip of the end on l of the hoop well though pic.twitter.com/LRxuAIV6jr

Chrissy suggested to Middleton Maven they may be this pair by Mejuri.
A personal note: the topic of gratitude for frontline workers is keenly felt here on Planet Kate. My mother is in hospice care at home. ‘Amazing’ is a wonderful way to describe the support, concern and skill of the nurses and other medical personnel taking care of her and all of us who are with her. She loved being part of What Kate Wore and every time I would see her or talk with her the first words out of her mouth were, “What is the Duchess doing today?”
That is why today’s post is brief. I want to spend as much time as possible with her and may also take a break after we say goodbye.
Ugh. I’m so sorry. I missed the part about your mom and just saw it now after reading lots of comments. And I asked that stupid question.
Wishing you and your entire family peace. Our thoughts are with you.
Sending love to you, Susan. We’re all thinking of you.
So sorry to hear this news. Praying for you and your family.
Sending you an abundance of love, Susan. You and your family are in my thoughts during this enormously difficult time.
Hi Susan, At this time my prayers and thoughts are with you as you say goodbye to your beloved mother. I did the same thing at end of Feb, 2020 saying goodbye to my Dad, I know how you feel and what you are going through, I think of of Dad a times when he would give advise, on something I was doing, fixing, purchasing etc. They will always be with you. I can said this now 1 yr later to stay strong because they would want you to be happy and live your life as they did.💔❤️
I am admittedly catching up on old emails, including posts from here, and when I didn’t receive an email about a new post after Kate’s last engagement, I knew something was going on. Now I am catching up here and reading your news. Susan, I am so sorry for your loss and completely understand you wanting to take all the time you have with your mother. This past year has been so difficult with families being unable to see each other. I hope you have soaked up every last moment, and am sending you strength in this tough time.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.
Daniela
Dear Susan,
please know that you and your family are close in my thoughts and prayers. I am so glad that you have prioritised being with her at this time. Sending you so much love, and warm appreciation for a wonderful site, always so sensitively written.
Take care,
Nina
My thoughts are with you, hoping you have peace.
Dear Susan,
I have been thinking of you as you say goodbye to your mother. Sending love to you, along with the entire WKW community. You have created an oasis of serenity, hope and friendship here and we are all surrounding you with comfort, blessings, and love.
How special to hear that your mom was so interested in the Duchess.
Take all the time you need. Sending prayers and hugs to you,
Leah
Susan – we have such gratitude for all you do bringing people together for good cheer around the globe. As you focus at home, prayers and good thoughts to you from the US heartland…
Susan,
Such sad news. I am so sorry! Lost my Mom years ago, she was my best friend besides my hubby. Enjoy every minute you can. We all send our best wishes for all of you.
Susan
Dear Susan,
I am sending love and prayers from France. Thinking of you, your mother and your family.
My heart goes out to you as you and your mom face this time. Wishing you both all the love and peace that can be had.
I rarely comment, but I wanted to join in saying how sorry I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during what Kate herself called a “precious period of time.” Thank you for all the joy you’ve given us, and I pray you find comfort and peace.
Dear Susan,
Thoughts and prayers for you, your mother and your family from New Zealand.
Dear Susan,
It was so lovely to read that your mother shared your interest in Kate’s clothes and activities and that you enjoyed discussing it all with her. I was very close to my own mother who always took a well informed interest in fashion among many other things and passed it on to me.
Susan, your warmth and compassion shine through this site, and I know that those qualities will give comfort to your mother now that she is in hospice care.
I think of my mother every day and will always miss her. Happily, I have found that the distressing images of her last months on earth have largely been replaced by memories of the kind, wise, funny, and may I add well dressed, person that she truly was.
With loving wishes from
Marguerite
Sending best wishes to you and your mother!
Best wishes to you and your loved ones while your mother is in hospice care! Hospice workers are wonderful human beings who offer help during the most difficult time imaginable and the support they give families is priceless.
Susan, I’m so very sorry to hear this news – my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I lost my Mom in December to Covid-19 and I miss her every day. Take all the time you need; we’ll be here when you’re ready to return.
Michele
Dear Susan,
Thank you for all the work you’ve put into this site that has been a welcome diversion for me especially through this past year.
God bless you, your mother, and the rest of your family as you go through this time. May His comforting presence be with you all.
Thank you so much for all your work this blog – I regularly check it, and it is always a bright spot in my day. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.
My deepest condolences to you and your family about your mother. I’m so very sorry.
Susan – I am so sorry. My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma in the middle of January and died the first week of February. He only had about a day of hospice care but it made a huge difference.
I am so sorry, be with her and take the time you need. I feel a sadness I can barely comprehend most days but I know that by giving myself the time and the leeway to grieve, I will someday find some peace with my dad’s death. Be kind to yourself.
Xoxoxo.
There is so much love expressed for you here, dear Susan, showing what a community you have built through WKW. Our thoughts are with you and with your mother. God bless you both.
Dear Susan
Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time, please take all the time that you need, enjoy this precious time with your mom, sending you lots of love and prayers xx
Oh Susan, I’m so sorry. I came here for some distraction as my MIL passed 3 days ago. I hope you are/were able to say your goodbyes. My deepest condolences.
Susan,
sorry to hear about your mother. I hope the family finds comfort and solace during these trying moments. Look forward to having you back here when you are able, we’ll miss you:)
Susan, so enjoy your site – esp during the past year when any diversion was welcome. Thank you for your hard work and the grace with which you do it.
Very sorry to hear of your mom’s health situation. I lost my aunt who was like a mother to me 2 years ago and what I wouldn’t give for just 5 more minutes with her! These are precious times and Kate can wait.
Sending you all my love Susan. I am thinking of you at this sad time. Xoxo
Susan,
May love and peace surround you and your family.
I wish that I had the right words to send your way, but may the power of prayer and love from so many of us who are beyond grateful to you for your talent make things a wee bit better.
Susan, thinking of your mom, you and your family. Enjoy every second you have with your mom. Take as much time as you need. We will all still be here, supporting you. Sending you all love and prayers.
Dear Susan,
Warmest wishes to you and your family. Thank you for this wonderful site that I check on daily for an update on you and the royals, wishing you and your family much strength.
Thinking of you and your family during this time. Sending virtual hugs to you all.
Love and prayers to you, your mom, and your family! Please take all the time you need. We will be eagerly waiting to virtually give you hugs after you return. 🙂
Susan my most heartfelt condolences as you begin this final chapter with your mom. Our mothers are irreplaceable and their loss is no less as we age, our mothers remain a part of us. Take this time with her. I spent several days with my mom in hospice care before she passed and that time was a gift.
Just want to echo all the beautiful sentiments shared here about your Mom, and I also send healing thoughts and prayers as you navigate this chapter with her. I love that she greeted you with “What’s the Duchess doing today?” and was so supportive of your efforts here on WKW which, as many have remarked, is an amazing accomplishment. Thank you for all you do and for your contribution to a positive and informative space for us all.
Blessings and peace to you, Susan, your mom, and your family during these difficult days. I have walked the road of caring for a terminally ill parent and understand the heartbreaking days and hours, the ups and downs. Losing a parent is hard. Take all the time you need for your mom, yourself and your family. May God bless and strengthen you.
Oh Susan, I am so sorry. With warmest wishes to you and your family.
Keeping you and your family in my prayers at this time. Peace to you all.
Thinking of you and your family during this very difficult time. Take all the time you need.
Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You have given me much joy doing such a wonderful job with What Kate Wore! Always amazing and I get much pleasure on your site. Wishing your Mother comfort and peace.
Dearest Susan,
I send my deepest and most sincerest prayers and wishes for all the time you need with your mom to make all the important decisions, reminiscence a little, and, of course, say good-byes. It’s never easy, and we are all here to welcome you back – or offer you comfort – when you are ready.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family,
Kate
Thoughts of strength are coming to you and your family from Los Angeles.
I would like to add my prayful thoughts to those expressed by others on this blog. May God bless and watch over you and your family during this difficult time. I always felt I never really stepped into adulthood, until I lost my Mother. She was always there, to offer sage advice and loving kindness. Take whatever time you need for comfort and healing.
Re. the blue Wickstead dress – it is a wonderful look for Kate. Perfect color and fit. She looks lovely

Susan~I check your blog every once in a while and saw the comments about your mother being in hospice. Like the others in the WKW community, I send my prayers to your mom, you, and your family and want to add my thanks to you for writing this blog. I agree with others that the has been a bright spot in a dark time. To the others in the community, it is so nice to hear the kind words about hospice personnel. So often, they are unsung heroes/heroines.
Gratitude is what I feel every time I think of you; and amazing is how I see your work on this blog. Your calm and unbiased reporting has brought so much joy. Wishing you that same sense of calm and peace as you navigate through this difficult time. My thoughts are with you and your mom.
May the Lord comfort you and your family as only He can at this time. We are all behind you!
My heart goes out to you at this time, Susan. Please take as much precious time with your mother as needed. ♥ It is so great that she has been able to join you on this fun journey.
Big hugs.
You and your mother are in my thoughts. I’m so glad you have these days together. Such a hard time. I imagine very few of us know you, but many of us likely agree your mother is an extraordinary one to have raised someone like you. Yours is really the only site I visit online, and I’ve never commented on anything anywhere! but I regretted not wishing you a speedy recovery back when you were out for a bit (Pakistan tour time), so I’m adding my kind thoughts to those of so many of us for whom you are so important. I’ve followed you for years and stop by daily. Whether a national crisis or a personal cloudy day, you’ve lifted my spirits over and over again and provided a safe harbor in the crazy world of the internet. We’ll all be here after you take all the time you need on this difficult journey.
My thoughts are with you and your mother, Susan. I hope she is comfortable and happy and you can find peace. We will be here when you feel up to coming back.
Sorry to hear your mother is in hospice care. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
I shall say a prayer for you and your family. May Your grief be tempered by memories of happier days and the knowledge you are never alone.
I’m so sorry to hear of your mother. I am sending prayers for your mother, you and your family. May you be able to spend these days ahead surrounded by love.
Susan, grab every second you can with your mother during these days. And, I agree about the hospice workers and others: they do the work of the angels for family during these hard, hard days. Take care, and take strength from the love surrounding you in this community.
❤️dale
Sending prayers and love to your family.
Long time reader here. I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. Keeping you in my prayers.
Thank you, Maria. And ditto, Susan. Take care of you and your family. Please.
Dear Susan,
How very like you to keep the many who follow ‘What Kate Wore’ up to date with the Duchess and even provide flashbacks on her dress.
Thank you for your effort to do this but please know I would rather have you spend precious time with your Mom
.I commend you for your conscientious faithfulness to your readers but we all understand that family comes first.
I join with your other loyal readers in keeping you and your Mom in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh, Susan, I am so sorry to hear about your mother, your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for giving so much enjoyment with this blog particularly during the past year, sometimes I feel you honestly helped to save my sanity. Please take care.
I’m sending you much strength and peace during this time, Susan. I lost both of my parents last year within a very short timeframe and the hospice team was one of the chief reasons that we were able to navigate the journey as we did. They are angels with invisible wings. Be very kind and gentle with yourself.
So very sorry to learn about your mother, to lose your mother is a heartbreak no matter how old you are. My thoughts are with you.
Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
Hospice workers are indeed angels. I will remember their kindness from when Stan was in hospice for the rest of my life. You and your mother are in my prayers. Sending you lots of love❤️
Susan I am very sad to hear that your mom is in hospice care. I am sending you love and hugs. WKW has hellped me through a very tough year . Your website is filled with joy beauty and all things positive.
Susan, so sorry to hear about your mother. My thoughts are with you. Please take all the time you need.
Susan, you’re going through such a difficult time, please take however much time you need to spend with your mom. Hugs and prayers to you and your family and please take care of yourself, too.
Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. Much love from across the ocean.
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, her, and your family.
Susan, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you and your family. Every day is precious. So glad that you are taking this time to be with your mother.
Thank you for your beautiful website. It is a bright spot for me.
Susan, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you lots of portable hugs. May God give you strength during this difficult time.
Dear Susan, take all the time you need! We will wait. You are in our thoughts.
Dear Susan, If we define front-line workers to include those who have aided others’ mental health during the battle against COVID, then Susan, you have been a front-line worker. In your site I have found respite during a time of world turmoil, and community during a time of limited social contact. Thank you for all that you’ve done for us this past year as well as for the past decade. I pray for peace for your mom, and for you and your family, in your farewell walk together. Wishing you blessings, and the comfort of loving memories.
May God bless you and surround your family with his love and peace.
Susan, I have been following you since 2017.And I must say you are doing a fab job. My prayers are with your mom .
Susan, I now you are in a difficult .my prayers are with you and your family.Your mother has always been your support which you have beautifully defined in the lines . my thoughts are with her and your family.
Susan, I’m terribly sorry to hear about your mother. Sending hugs and prayers from Portland, OR. ❤️
All the best to you and your family.
Sending my very best wishes to you and your mother from across the pond. You have created such a warm online community here, I hope your family is feeling its support.
My condolences on the loss of your mother. Your work on What Kate Wore has been phenomenal and from Seattle in the United States, it is appreciated. Best to you and your family at this difficult time. – K
Susan, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Wishing you and your family strength and peace.
I am so sorry about your mom. I lost my mom last April due to complications from cancer and even though covid was raging, I was able to be with her in hospice in the hospital for her last two days – precious hours I’d never trade. I occasionally would forward her posts to you as she loved Kate and she loved fashion. Be with your mom. We’ll be here waiting for you whenever you are ready to return.
Susan, so sorry to read this about your mum. Wishing you and your family all the best. I love your page
Sending you your family good thoughts and prayers
Prayers for your mother and for your family! She must be terribly proud of you. Thank you for always being on top of Kate’s outings and public service engagements. It’s so much fun, in such a bleak world, to read your posts and think “I could dress like a duchess!”. I love that you always include Kate’s less expensive items, and I love that Kate, given her circumstances and the endless possibilities in her potential wardrobe, is very frugal and is conscious of how something as simple as what she is wearing can be very important. The fact that she wears Zara earrings they we can all afford with her designer dress says she hasn’t forgotten that most of us can’t wear Emilia Wickstead, but we can still feel “royally” dressed with some earrings, or a pair of shoes, a bracelet, a necklace. She always has something accessible for most of us on! She is going to make a wonderful queen someday.
Much love and peace to you and your family during this difficult time.
Susan, I have followed WKW for many years and am eternally grateful for your continued energy and positive language on the site. Your site helped me through the dark days of new motherhood 3 years ago. Quite a welcome diversion. I now send you love and support during your heartbreaking time. Take care of yourself.
Xoxo Jessie
Susan, so sorry to hear about your mother. Hugs and love.
Thinking of you and your family, Susan. May your fond memories serve as a blessing to you in painful times.
I am so sorry to read that your mother is in hospice care and I wish you and your entire family all the best in this difficult time.
The earrings might be the suggested mijuni-earrings because they have seven pearls on each hoop while the Zara earrings have 10 pearls. I wonder why Prince William did not chose for this occassion a more formal suit which would have matched better than his business casual style to the elegant dress of his wife Kate. This fit an flare style is one of the best choices of the Duchess – in all the different colours she has it in her wardrobe.
So sorry to hear about your mom, such a tough time for you and your family. Wishing you strength.
I am so sorry to hear this news about your mother. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad the hospice staff are providing the comfort and guidance you need during this difficult time.
Susan, I am so sorry about your Mom. Thank you for all you do here and it’s so great to know that it brought your mom joy as well. The post today as excellent as always!
I am so sorry that this devastating time is continuing to devastate; I wish the very best for you and yours. I am grateful for the respite WKW has been to me, and I hope it serves the same role for you. Thank you.
Susan, I’m so sorry about your mother. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear about your mom. Sending all the best wishes to you and your family.
Sorry to hear your mum is having hospice care. Please look after yourself and take all the time you need.
It appears that the WKW Commonwealth is whole heartily supporting you and your family – such a blessing. Take good care.
As you often say, segueing sartorially is tough – but the dress is a winner – fit, color, appropriateness.
We’re all thinking of you.
Peace and love to you and your mother. Please take all the time that you need. Thank you for what you do.
Oh Susan, I’m so sorry about your mother. Wishing you strength to deal with this and peace and serenity for your mother. Please take all the time you can to be with your mother now. We will be waiting and praying for your family.
You, your mother, and the rest of your family are in my thoughts.
Thank you for another great post. I’m so grateful for how much you give to this page. It’s been such a balm during these times. Also, please know I’ll be praying for you and your family during this time, I’m so sorry to hear that your Mother is in hospice.
I, too, am a longtime reader and very infrequent commenter and send you and your mom and your whole family vibes for peace and serenity – and joy if possible. Hospice is a blessing.
Love and prayers for your mother, for you and your family.
I’m so sorry about your mother. Much love and peace to you and your family. I I love your blog so much, it is a treat to follow here!!
Thinking of you and your mother as well as family. This year of plague has brought sorrow to so many. May your presence be a comfort for your mother.
Sending thoughts and prayers your way Susan. You give so much joy to us all with your work on this blog… I know we all hope we can help you virtually feel a little bit of the love we are all sending your way.
I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. I hope these days with her are filled with peace and love.
Blessings to you, your mother, and your family at this time. I lost my dad in September and hospice was absolutely amazing.
Thanks for all you do.🙏
Prayers for Mom.
I am so, so sorry about your mother, Susan. I hope that you can find some comfort during this time in your life. You, your mum, and your entire family will be in my prayers.
God bless you and your mom and the hospice workers!!
So very sorry to hear about your mother – savor your time with ger
Thinking of you, Susan, and your mother and all your family. My mother passed away almost two years ago; hospice was a big help to us, too. It’s a devastating loss, no one is as interested in all the details of our lives as our mothers are. I’m so glad yours has enjoyed hearing about the Duchess along with the rest of us. Please take all the time you need; we will wait patiently for you. And if you’d ever like to tell us about your mother, we’d love to hear.
I love that boat-neck being left bare, I’d find jewellery fussy especially as it could break the the line of the excellent cut. It highlights Kate’s natural beauty while giving a nod of respect to the magnificent achievement of the Commonwealth. However, like yourself, I patiently await the day Kate avails herself of some of those enviable royal pearls!
Heartfelt best wishes to you and family at such a difficult time and thank you very much for being so heroic as to give us a post. I’m so touched to hear of your Mum’s support for your great work here.
This wonderful blue Wickstead is one of my top favourites on Kate and sums up so much about this wonderful woman. Fine, classic tailoring is employed to give a perfect fit, plus acwholly regal look, but retaining a very Kate touch of vivacity and youthfulness in that lively flare of the skirt.
Interesting thoughts on the earrings. Finally, you’re in my thoughts and prayers right now, and please take as long as you need for a much-needed break 🙏❤
May you and your mom know peace in these days.
Dear Susan, God Bless your mother, yourself, and your family. Thank you for all you do for us! Take your time, take care of yourself.🙏🏼💙
Sending blessings to you and your family. Thank you for your posts, and for the unrelenting positivity.
Susan, I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. We spent 4 days with my father in hospice in September 2019 and everyone there was, as you say, amazing.
Oh, I’m so sorry about your mother. You are a lovely person and my favorite read on the internet. She must be wonderful too. Please take care of yourself.
(and also, Kate looked just beautiful and classically her. Love her straighter hair.)
Susan—I’ve been a reader for about three years and only commented once or twice. But I just wanted to say I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. I hope you are comforted by all the lovely memories you’ve made with her. Frontline workers really do shine in such tough situations and I can’t imagine where we’d all be without them.
Please do take the time you need to be with your family. Your readers (and Kate!) will be loyally waiting for you whenever you return.
I know Kate’s hair isn’t up, but I love it pushed back so we can see the neckline of the dress in this instance. It makes it look like a whole new dress!
Thinking of you & your mother, Susan.
I often read your site but I don’t leave comments. I just want to say I enjoy all the hard work you do, and I’m keeping you and your family in my thoughts during a difficult time.
Thinking of you and your family as you sit with your mother. Yes, Hospice nurses are indeed angels. As a nurse myself, I went to a conference presented by our local hospice and heard a speaker describe life like a quilt. There are bright, beautiful squares and others that are not as pretty or are even dark. And, at the end, we all need help folding up our quilt. Wishing you peace.
Thinking of you and your Mom. Please take care of yourself, Susan. We will all be here when you are ready to come back. Julie in Edmonton
Prayers for your Mama and for you and all your family as you spend this important time together.
I am so sorry to read about your mother. Peace to you both.
I’m so very sorry to hear about your mom. Yes, please take as much time as you need. We will be waiting patiently. I had two family members pass away last year and nothing is more important then giving yourself and your loved ones the gifts of time and grace during this process of transition.
Oh my. I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s struggles. Be with her and be at peace with your goodbye. Your many fans can wait as long as it takes for you to heal.
At first glance I thought that Kate was quite formally dressed for a video chat, but then of course, I realized it was to take part in the Commonwealth Day Service. Sadly this is another grand occasion that has been diminished to something online, due to the pandemic.
This Emilia Wickstead dress is so Kate. I like both the colour and the style on the Duchess. Many will appreciate that this dress is fitted and tailored and far removed from the flowing, midi dresses that have entered the wardrobe. With Kate’s hair back, not lying over the front of the dress, I now realize how bare the neckline is. For this reason a short, simple chain necklace would have been appropriate. Or since Kate is wearing pearl earrings, she could opt for a single strand of pearls. Unlike the Queen, however, who wears pearl earrings and usually a three strand pearl necklace daily, Kate has not made pearls a choice.
Susan, I scanned what Kate was wearing and then commented. Then as I read your post more completely, I became aware that your mother is in hospice care. Yes, the medical workers are amazing and I’m glad you feel your dear mother is well looked after. May your Mum be pain free and as comfortable as possible. May your entire family find peace. Please know that if you need to stop blogging for awhile, that we will understand and uplift you at this difficult time.
Hi Bonnie, I tried leaving a reply to you, but it has mysteriously turned up under Diane above. Fat Thumb Syndrome strikes again, I’m afraid.
ElizaMo, I saw your message. I realized it was meant for me, due to the reference of the pearls.
I am so sorry to hear that your mother is in hospice care. All the best to you and your family during this time.
