Finally, after a lot of searching and digging, it was simply the love of family that gave me a road into the character. Once I got into that, and we delved into what it would be like to survive cancer and the ability to see how precious life is, it became easier to play her. ↗

In this world, it is too common for people to search for someone to lose themselves in. But I am already lost. I will look for someone to find myself in. ↗
