So sorry! Some memories do hurt, as this must, too.
Still, you did have a good time with her just before you left, and that's really something to be happy about.
I am sorry for your loss. What a beautifully vivid image of a beautiful person in your life! Taking a "mind photograph" is something I have done before, too.
I've been banned from ladders too. In 2021 I fell off a ladder 11 steps down, broke both of my feet painting the trim on our house before we sold it. I made the move to Las Vegas with my feet in air casts and crutches.
I would outsource window washing at this point, the list may grow as I age.

I've let go of many things, but only after bugging myself for a few minutes or so. Yes, letting go helps most of the time, within reason.
And I remember that case. That is something I can't wrap my mind around, though. That man must have been a saint.
I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!
Write about the biggest challenge you have faced and how you overcame it.
Life is full of challenges for most people. It depends on how you look at a situation as to whether it’s considered a challenge or not. Studying for exams, starting a new job, recovering from an illness, or persevering through pain, even the daily grind of raising children can be challenging. I’m not sure I can select one event, there have been so many.
I suppose leaving England with a small child, travelling across the world and starting a new life was my biggest challenge, but even that move consisted of numerous individual ones, each one difficult in its own way.
