Quick update

[alexxkay]

Mom died at 10:10 this morning, while dad was at church. I spent several hours with him today, helping clean house, and comfort him as best I was able. I'm glad it's finally over. Dad's pretty devastated right now, but I trust he will pull through.

There will be no funeral, but will be a memorial service at some point. Dad's thinking of putting it off until September-ish, so that more of her friends from the breast cancer list can be there. More details when I have them.

Thnaks to everyone who's offered emotional support to me during this time.

I fucked up. When I saw you last night, I wanted to say something, but it felt funny in front of Rick and Zohane. Yes, I know they both know, but the conversation was light and glib, and I didn't want to dampen their spirits (or yours). I should have let you know then, you and your mom have been in my thoughts quite a bit lately, and I hadn't yet figured out a good way to tell you. I'm still quite a "guy" in some ways. I'm telling you now. I'm very sorry for your loss, and I hope this time of sadness quickly gives way to a time of beloved memories.

I do not think so. (And you know I'm not slow to tell you when I *do* think so :-)

A perfectly good call. I may write more on this topic anon...
