Update

My mother died tonight. She taught me to cook, taught me to write, and brought me to restaurants from a young age and insisted I looked the server in the eye when I made my order. If you have enjoyed what you have read here over the last 5 years or so, thank her, and raise a glass to the Whupper.*

*So christened by my father after his faith that she would whup cancer. She parlayed a diagnosis of months into six years and change, which I will chalk up as a W, even though my heart is broken.

So, so sorry to hear this. But that is one lovely tribute to her.

I read this with tears in my eyes. Holly parented indiscriminately and I feel so fortunate to have been guided by her caring touch. I live more open hearted and open homed because of her. I sigh knowing that Titania has rejoined Oberon.

Sorry for your loss, Cod. I have enjoyed your writing very much and will thank your Mom and raise a glass to her fighting spirit tonight.

[Lisa]

I will most definitely raise a glass to her. What a beautiful tribute.

Your tribute was beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss, and your family's.

[Natalie Sztern]

You have my sympathies and my thoughts. It is so hard to lose a parent, especially a mother. It is beautiful that you have honored her with those words.

I know how hard it is to lose your mother. I don't think it hit me that my mother was gone until I was about to call her to ask about a recipe...
and then realized.

My sincere condolences.

As Jim Dickinson said,

"I'm just dead. I'm not gone."

This topic referring to this good topic is good enough! Thus scholars do not have to finish the dissertation and thesis abstract by their own efforts, they can use your aid.

[Bridget Callahan]
