many happenings

Since I last wrote (over nine months ago), I have:

• been pregnant (Sept-June)
• traveled to Australia to cheer up my mother who was being treated for metastasized ovarian cancer (Dec-Jan)
• had a baby (June 14)
• heard my mother is now actually dying from further metastasized ovarian cancer (June) and may only have weeks to live

More things have happened, but new baby and dying mother are the major ones. I will write more details soon.
