I too am very glad to see you turn up here, though like Sara I’m horribly sorry to hear about your mom.

Wirtz Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:36:30 +0000 http://sararyan.com/?p=832#comment-6192 Sara, friend from my long-lost but never-forgotten Ann Arbor days, whom I found quite by accident wandering through comments on Hanne's blog: I'm so glad to get glimpses of you as you are now here on your site, but so very sorry to hear how hard the year has been for you, and why. My extraordinarily beloved mother died of early-onset senile dementia two weeks ago, at the we-did-not-have-her-nearly-long-enough age of 68, and I think I'm still in shock. I'm thinking of you, as I often have over the years - but even more so tonight.

I cried so much that at one point I would go to sleep crying and wake up crying (I had a very wet face that year :)). The raw horribleness numbs up a bit after that, I swear. Hang in there!
