My mom's obituary was in the paper today. I still can't believe she's gone. I keep starting to think of something I want to tell her or show her, and then remembering I can't.

rikibeth asked if there was a charity people could donate to in her memory, and I have an answer now. Not two weeks ago, my mom joined Amnesty International, which works against human rights violations worldwide. For anyone who did want to donate, that would be a good choice.

If you find for whatever reason that you can't donate to AI, you might also consider The American Heart Association, which accepts donations to fund heart disease research.

Or, hell, do both. They're both worthy causes, in my opinion.


(Also, can we start the Give keladryb A Medal Fund pretty soon? Because at this point, I just don't know how to thank her anymore.)
