My mom passed away yesterday afternoon. We were planning on being there today, but my dad called us yesterday around 2:30 to let us know we should come "sooner rather than later." I'm convinced that she waited for all the kids to get there. I miss her tons, but I'm glad her suffering is over.

Friends have been calling/emailing/texting/IM'ing non-stop and it's overwhelming and amazing. Malia bought me some fun pj pants which made me smile. She walked with me to Walgreens so I could pick up some orange juice for screwdrivers. Of course, I didn't really drink much of the screwdriver, but I appreciate her walking with me.

Everything's kind of a blur now. I know we still have things to do, but I can't think of things. Hopefully "someone" remembers for us!

mom, cancer
