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.
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You are in my thoughts, Tom. I am sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
She’s gone.
