Di, I'm so sorry...hugs and prayers being sent your way
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.
I don't think I realised until now how comforting a virtual hug can be.

I'm so glad she had the chance to meet you and get to know you -- I imagine that's a comfort to her now. I just wish you could have had more time together.
And I wish your father were less frail. Old age is hard.
Thinking of you and all of your family during this hard time . . . .
Just to let you know that my birth mum died peacefully in her sleep yesterday evening. My family in Northern Ireland will let me know about the arrangements.
Thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers, everyone.

Di, I am so sorry. You've been in my prayers and will continue to be.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

So sorry... wish you could have had longer together
