Mommy...

Yesterday morning around 1am my mother passed away. I will miss her so terribly. She was the most wonderful, caring, loving, patient and beautiful person I know, and I can't even imagine how I'm going to live without her. I'm glad it ended quickly and she was spared more of the pain she was going through, and I'm glad I was able to come home to be with her and tell her how much she means to me.

I am the luckiest person in the world to have been adopted by my parents, and my life is so blessed with them.

Thanks to everyone who's been sending emails and calling. It helps to know I have such amazing friends and family to help us through this.

Tara,

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. She looks like a beautiful woman, and she was so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving daughter. I send all of my love to your and your family during this time. You're all in my prayers.
