I've just returned from a heartbreaking week in Chicago--we lost my Mom from complications after surgery to try and fix the paralysis that was overtaking her hands and arms. She was not your average 88 year old--she was alive and vibrant, happy, loving, giving, and courageous. Not only was she a wonderful mother, but a good friend. We are inconsolable...Thank you friends for all of your prayers for her and my family--we truly appreciate it...
