i'm sorry that i've been missing in action. unfortunately, it has been for a very sad reason. my mom passed away last week. i left new york to be with her in mid-November when she was in the hospital getting her feeding tube. unfortunately, the feeding tube was only the beginning of her worries. the feeding tube never worked, and many other things started to go wrong. it turns out that there were many tiny, sub-radiographic tumors surrounding her organs causing strictures throughout her bowels and fluid build-up in her abdomen. she ultimately died of a cerebral hemorrhage... quickly and relatively painlessly, but long before any of us ever wanted to see her go. she was a treasure of a person. looking back, i'm not so sure she wasn't an angel. she loved every minute of every day and took pleasure in other people's accomplishments. she was never thoughtless or petty... just warm, caring, and joyful. i honestly can't think of a mean or selfish thing that she ever did or said... i'm sure there were a few times she had been pushed past her limit, but they were so rare and inconsequential, i can't bring them to mind. i hope that everyone has someone in her life who loves her as fully and unconditionally as my mom loved me.

Moosk, I am so so sorry. That was a beautiful tribute to your mum.
I'm so very sorry. Your mother sounds like a person anyone would be honored to have.
Words cannot begin to describe how sorry I am for you right now. Your mother sounds like she was a wonderful woman, someone anyone would be lucky just to be around.
((HUGS)) as you go through this period of grief and attempt to heal.
Oh Moosk...My thoughts are with you. I am so sorry to hear about this.
I wanted to tell you I am very sorry for your loss. Your Mom sounds like she was a great person, and I am sure she is with you always!!
Amy,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I have been MIA from most online activities myself lately and had not checked in on your blog in a while. My heart breaks for you and your loss. I remember from everything you said that your mom was a fighter. She fought this disease with everything she had and even though her passing brings such sadness, she is now at peace and pain free. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers and just wanted to let you know I think of you often and do keep praying that one day soon I hope to read about a BFP for you.
You are mentioned and thought of by all of us girls on the board and we miss you!
Kellie
