As posted earlier, I made an unplanned trip home due to my mother's illness. Sadly, she passed on June 13th, just moments before my plane landed. I was denied the opportunity to say my final good-byes, but most of my siblings and other family members were there, so I'm happy to know that she wasn't alone and that she passed quietly with no suffering. I also take comfort that she is in a much better place now and I will see her again.
Recalling fond memories prompted me to pen a short story that I published this morning - Ma's Fudge - A Slightly-Biased Opinion of the Best Chocolate Fudge

Today is Ma's birthday; she would have been 83.
Happy Birthday, Ma. I love you ...
