And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Tom, I'm so sorry. All the love I can spare to you.

I'm going to this tonight. The venue is two blocks from my house, it had to happen.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh, wow, amyparker! I am thrilled that someone I know will get to be there!

I’m so sorry, Tom. Sending you love.

So Mom is lying on the bed next to me. She’s unresponsive, and she’s been disconnected from everything except saline, morphine, and O₂. It’s just a matter of waiting.

Holding you in my heart, Tom.

The status is NOT quo.

Having been in that situation with my dad leas than six months ago, all I can say is to say what you want to say to her, Tom. I know we don't know if they can hear, but I was glad I got to talk to my Dad before he died, even though I wish I'd been able to say some of those things while he was still lucid. My love to you.

I'm so sorry Tom. I hope your mother's passing is peaceful and full of grace.
