Yesterday morning, Mr. Random's mother died.
While she had been in the hospital for a week, by all accounts she had been improving, so this was quite a shock to us all . . . and is still quite a shock.
She was a lovely, lovely woman - quite brilliant, very kind, very loving, very proud of her son . . . and she was rather fond of me and was quite encouraging of my returning to school.
Mr. Random's father died rather young about 15 years ago.
Please send good thoughts our way. This is going to be very hard.
It is very hard.
