Dear arkitaip-family,

It’s Lea, the daughter-part behind arkitaip. And these are probably some of the most difficult words I will ever write.

It is with a very heavy heart and deepest sadness that I share the hurtful news of my beloved mum’s passing. After two years of fighting the most courageous battle against illness - she fought like a lioness - Michi, my angel mum, has departed from this earthly world and embarked on her final journey.

Words can’t describe my family’s and my pain. However, we’re eternally grateful that we could be by her side until the very end.

To my guardian angel: Thank you for not only being the best mother one could wish for, but also for being my best friend, my forever-muse and partner in crime. Your huge heart, kindness, empathy, courage, creativity, and eternal joy for life will forever be my source of inspiration. Your unconditional love and care prepared me for this world. You always believed in me, empowering me to reach for the stars. I know that your light will keep guiding us from wherever you are. May you be hugged in cocoon of safety and your spirit find peace until we meet again. I love and miss you.

Love,

Lea
