Update:

Mom is being cremated as per her wishes. I will be the one to take possession of the ashes. I will scatter them around NYC (again, as she wanted) when I'm up there (probably in the spring).

We are not having a funeral. Mom wasnt a funeral person. Everyone had pretty much agreed that there would be no service.

My grandmother is doing VERY...

Thank you to those of you who left comments and sent emails yesterday and today. I cried more from those than I have from anything else.

He knows this is going to be rough on me...

My mother passed away this afternoon just after 3pm.

I'm going to take this moment to admit to you all just how retarded I am (...Not like you didnt already know ).

And yes, I realise youre all going to tease me to no end. Fine. I'm used to it.

Friday night,...

As per the previous entry, I promised you a funny story about my friend Patrick.

Lets rewind a bit.

Picture it. Austin. Summer 1998.

During those days, I was often found at the now dearly departed Electric Lounge (moment of silence).

It was my home away from home.

So, fast...

Mom update:

Dad called this morning. She's still alive and they are amputating a foot, or probably have by now (since he said they'd be doing it this morning and she's in room 8-something or other if i wanted to come see her. No, I think ill pass).
