Thanks so much for your prayers. As I'd told Ramius early this morning, Mama's death was unexpected but not unwelcome. She's at peace now, and not tormented by her inability to remember things and engage people as she once did. She was a firecracker in her day, and we missed that about her when the Alzheimer's caused her to withdraw.

We had already begun mourning her over the last few years, so that part won't be too bad. I predict a lot more laughter than tears when the family gets together. We'll all be rejoicing that she's home with the Lord, and back with my Daddy who she loved and never really got over losing almost 23 years ago.

I do appreciate all the support y'all have given me. It means so much.

As soon as I talk to my sisters, I'll make the flight reservations. I don't know yet if I'll come home Sunday or Monday, but I'll be here sometime after the weekend!
