For those of you who are concerned, I wanted to let you know that my mother passed late Wednesday night. I'm fine, and I think I already went through the majority of my mourning prior to her passing. It's been a very hard road saying goodbye to her everyday and watching her deteriorate, and as a result I'm very exhausted. Fortunately, my mother, and all of us closest to my mother, were all able to say our goodbyes and be in a good place, as she no longer wanted to fight the cancer and was at peace and ready to pass. Thanks for your positive thoughts and prayers during this time.
