Where the Wild Roses Grow

Episode Title: Where the Wild Roses Grow (Voiceover)

Show Notes: This week, I’m sharing something different, a eulogy in remembrance of a woman who mothered a whole generation of strays.

After attending the funeral of Brenda Boozer—my lifelong friend Leland Todd Boozer’s mother and a woman who helped raise more of us than I can count—I couldn’t stop writing. I didn’t speak at her funeral, but the words wouldn’t leave me alone. So I wrote the eulogy anyway.

This piece isn’t just about Brenda. It’s about chosen family. About grief and forgiveness. About what remains when the people we love are gone.

It’s about doorways, music boxes, roadside vigils, red dresses, and the kind of woman who loved the world harder after it tried to break her.

Brenda’s roots run deep. And we are still blooming in her name.
