passing

This afternoon at about 1230 my mother passed away after a brief and occasionally violent struggle with leukemia. Although I had been with her for most ot the previous 72 hours she waited until I took a break to leave, for which I am mostly grateful.

Although she was semicomatose over the last three days I still spent a lot of time talking with her. I hope she heard the good parts although I was honest enough to tell her all of it for once.
