Recent Events / Upcoming Surgery

Update

My mother passed away December 17th, 2025.

She was 86, and I miss her.

The last year was pretty dismal. She’s had dementia for a while, and my brother and I cared for her as best we could. She died peacefully in her sleep.

As you might imagine, this is taking time to properly process and grieve.

Thank you in advance for your condolences.

Love you, Mom!
