        It must make her feel good that her mom knew her husband in some way. I share her thoughts about losing a parent. This was my tweet from last night while watching The Last Dancehttps://twitter.com/j264b/status/1259680002133630978?s=21 …

        allgoldeverything added,

        That shot of Jordan crying on the floor. I honestly felt that. Losing a parent can momentarily take joy away from things you would otherwise have been elated about. For them to not be there with you in that moment is just crushing. It’s another reminder of the finality of death.
