It’s getting better. I have a stack of cards people have sent me (thank you). I have been reading a great many kind emails (ditto). I have a box near my desk that came filled with things to cheer me up: tea and mix CDs and books and pretty soaps and other stuff (thank you Michael and Marianne and Jenny and Patty). I haven’t emptied the box completely; I might still need to have it around. Everything helps: the road trip to Michigan; the memorial service; returning to work.
If you’d like, you can make a donation in my mom’s name to Wellness House in Hinsdale, Illinois. Gifts can be made here in memory of Kathleen McClure.
I’ll be getting back to posting this week. Thank you all for your patience and everything else.
