last post for awhile

This past month has been a rocky one for me and my family. My mom's health took a nosedive and, this past Tuesday, she passed away.

I don't have any deep insights and I feel like any sort of memories or emotions I have are not-so-different than anyone else who has lost their mother. I keep telling myself that stuff like this happens all the time. I'm not in a situation that is unique. Needless to say, it doesn't take away the fact that we've all lost someone who, at her best, had tremendous energy and was willing to do anything for her family.

I can't even begin to thank her for all of her sacrifices, all of her love, and all of the things she taught me.

I don't know what else to say.
