in my absence

About 3 weeks ago my world was shaken in a way I will feel for the rest of my life. My mother was diagnosed with stage 1 cancer - but it was extremely aggressive and by last week it was a stage 4.
 
My beautiful mother Merrilyn died on saturday in Arizona at 2:37pm, it was a beautiful sunny day.
 
I am sorry that I haven't been able to answer comments or post much since I got her diagnosis and I hope to get back to that and drawing bunnies and stuff soon. - lots of hugs, Em
