    For those of you who were following my Mom story...

    I just wanted to let you all know, especially the TD Support Group, that my mom died very quietly today, in her cardiologist's office. Her heart just stopped. We will miss her a lot. I wanted to thank you for all the Mom support you guys gave me over the last year. Much appreciated.

    She was a retired speech pathologist and a great adventurer. Her last trip was an opera club trip to Russia. She was a major life lover. She took the last year of constant illness with an incredibly tolerant, pleasant, positive spirit. She was smart. Interested in everything. Funny. We were just about to move her out here to Seattle next week. We would have had fun.

    Salsa, I was out at the Bee-eaters nesting colony this morning and thought of you all the way and stopped for a few minutes where they were all whistling in the early morning and said a (very tiny) prayer.

    All you need is love...la-dee-da-dee-da...all you need is love!

    Dear Salsa,

    I'm sad for you and your family to hear that your mom is gone. May you feel how big her spirit is every day--I believe that's never gone. She's free of the restrictions of her body, and always with you. I'm so glad you two had all those wonderful years together.

    (((D)))

    love, Lise

    I'm sorry you lost your Mom. I'm sure you know much of what you are today was a gift from your Mom. Take care and may the love and good memories of your Mom sustain you.
