I Love you Mom

Mom passed away this early this morning, very peacefully, after she put up a long fight with death. She was convinced, almost until the very end, that she was not dying. She was independent, strong, kind and very smart. But most of all she loved her family and wide circle of friends with a depth that continues to astound me.

We'll miss her terribly. 

This photo was taken by my dear photographer friend Dana on the occasion of Mom's 94th birthday in May this year.
