Well, that's it then

My mom called me. She never calls me. I call her every day, but she prefers not to bother me. But she called me today.

She finally got the word. There's nothing more they can do. The doctors have tried every treatment there is, some more than once, and they're giving up.

She was always doomed. We knew that. But now it's just a waiting game. No more sick treatments. Maybe now they call fill her full of drugs that can make her breathe easier and have a little more strength. Maybe it won't be so miserable. I wonder how long it will be.

While Mary’s major contribution is that she humanizes and challenges Mrs. Hawking, I always wanted her to add something of practical value to her mentor’s operations. It’s Mary’s gift that if she cannot accomplish something herself, she can find the right person who can. Her way is not to destroy her enemies, but to turn them into allies and friends, which ultimately makes them stronger.
