On hiatus

I got word this morning that my mother had passed. It was quite unexpected, but it sounds like she died peacefully and without suffering. I’m glad for that, as well as the fact that she kept her vigor and intellectual clarity to the very end, but I will miss her tremendously. I’m on a plane to Maryland and will likely be there for a few weeks.

  6. My heart goes out to you. Be thankful that you were a great daughter and that she was very proud of you.

  8. I’m so sorry, Tien. I lost my mother just two years ago and while she had Alzhimers and did not know us, I still miss her and my dad too. Your mom made such a good impression as seen through your blog entries. So lively and creative. She was “good stuff” and you are obviously carrying on her enthusiam for life.
