Susan, I’m glad it’s been positive. I’ve felt ambivalent about personal publishing for about a year, and my Mom’s sudden decline and death have provided me with an opportunity to revisit two things I am good at: healthcare and personal web publishing. It’s quite a surprise. I know I got a great deal from you as you wrote and published about your Mom.

And Chuck, indeed. She fought like a champ. But like the fictional wise man said, “Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you.”
