With immeasurable sadness, our family had to let go of my mom yesterday. She
died at 3:35 p.m., leaving a hole in my and many other lives that can never be
filled.
Thanks to all of you who have expressed kind thoughts on the subject of her condition. She was a strong believer of the importance of community, and was quite familiar with her identity here as MamaBlue, and she would have considered the support so many have shown to be a fine example of the benefits of a communal spirit. Likewise, my own thoughts are with the many of you who have described your own families' struggles with illness -- you have my sympathies.
Finally, thanks to Frans for his help catching up on today's news. I'm sure there are many questioning the need for me to jump back into this so soon, but it's been a good distraction, and with a funeral this weekend I really wanted to clear my plate to keep the backlog of news from being stressful and to prevent it from getting any more overwhelming.

This was so unexpected...I was actually afraid to scroll down and read your update, I just knew somehow and didn't want to look...I'm so sorry for your loss, Stephen. As my mom and dad get older (58 and 60), I of course have to tell myself that they won't be here forever. I really don't know what I would do without them though, they have always been there for me. I know I'll be absolutely devastated when it happens, so I try to spend as much time as I can with them. You take all the time you need, we'll always be here when you get back, no matter how long...

'Sorry, we thought you were dead.'
'I was. I'm better now.'
