I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

So Mom is lying on the bed next to me. She’s unresponsive, and she’s been disconnected from everything except saline, morphine, and O₂. It’s just a matter of waiting.

Holding you in my heart, Tom.

Having been in that situation with my dad leas than six months ago, all I can say is to say what you want to say to her, Tom. I know we don't know if they can hear, but I was glad I got to talk to my Dad before he died, even though I wish I'd been able to say some of those things while he was still lucid. My love to you.

I'm so sorry Tom. I hope your mother's passing is peaceful and full of grace.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Keeping you in my heart, Tom

I'm sorry, Tom. Whether it's a positive relationship or a negative one or just complicated, losing your mother is heavy and fraught and destabilizing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Love to you, Tom.
