This piece explores the devastating consequences of unspoken feelings and misunderstood love, acknowledging the difference between family and relatives. Through Joyce's letter written after her death, when reconciliation is impossible, showcased is the final heartbreak. Jocelyn will never tell her mother how much she loved her, and Joyce died believing she didn't matter. My hope is that audiences recognize the urgency of giving love while we're still here in tangible form. If there's any possibility for reconciliation, we must act because we never know how much time remains to heal.
