Surrogate Mom

Some days, luck smiles on you.

Last night, when I woke up from surgery, I was groggy and my breathing was labored. I don't come out of surgery well. But I had the good fortune of a visit from Nina's Mom, Sue. I was not coherent enough to talk with her, but it was just really nice to hear her voice. She happened to be passing through Hong Kong for one night only and I was lucky enough that it was the night I needed someone.

She returned again in the morning to check on me and was incredibly sweet. It wasn't the same as having my own Mom there, but Sue makes a really good surrogate Mom.

Thanks, Sue! You were a godsend.
