Angelina Jolie penned an essay about growing up with Marcheline Bertrand as a mother, and losing her in her 30s.
“It was not sudden, but so much shifted inside," wrote Jolie, who has three daughters and four sons with ex-husband Brad Pitt. “Losing a mother’s love and warm, soft embrace is like having someone rip away a protective blanket.”
The actress also shared the secret meaning behind a tattoo she got on her right hand following Bertrand’s death. While the ink appears to be an “M,” for Marcheline, it is in fact a “W” -- symbolizing the Rolling Stones song “Winter,” which Bertrand serenaded Jolie with when she was young. “But now, with my girls growing up and being the ages I remember so well as a daughter, I am rediscovering my mother and her spirit,” Jolie continued. “She was a girl who danced all night on the Sunset Strip and loved rock 'n' roll. She was a woman who loved, even after loss, and never lost her grace and her smile.
