WOW, I'm sorry to hear that sad news.
S'ok - it was 14 years ago. I post a memorial song on Facebook every year so my son knows I don't forget. We had what they call a "tumultuous relationship", but I've never talked her down to him, because that's his ma, and therefore half of who he is. When you tear down a parent to a child, you're also tearing down the child, and I won't do that. That's my boy!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
