my mom...

i still haven't found a good way of saying/telling this and i still haven't told many people who are important in my life because it's not something one brings up in normal conversation, but it is something i want to share with you all. my mom passed away this past thursday. she went peacefully with my dad by her side. we were expecting it, but the finality was still a shock. i'm okay - my busy life is a good distraction.
