I can't wait to read "Maverick Quigley."

Oh my god, the coughing. Listening to old people and kids cough takes up so much more of my mental real estate than I ever thought it would. I can't wait for the moment when you can stop listening to that.

I'm not one of those who believes stuff happens for a reason or suffering makes us stronger. All I can say is I hear you and it sucks and every fiber of my being is pulling for your mom's (and yours, by extension) release from suffering and pureed bread.
