Hi folks,
I just wanted to let you know that my mom lost her battle to bile duct cancer recently. I know she posted here for many, many years under the name hedgehog and even adopted a cat through her conversations here. One of the ways she and I bonded was through our progressive politics- she learned a lot from the articles she read here, and I wanted to thank you all for being a source of news and lively debate for her.
Peace and love.

(24,649 posts)Overtime, that hole will be filled with the wonderful memories you have of her. My Mom passed many years ago, when I was still relatively young. It was very difficult to think of her without sorrow. But now memories of her bring a smile to my face. They are always with you. Peace and comfort to you and your family.
