#12I realize this isn't exactly Hacker News, but sharing the source of my inspiration brings me more comfort than just about anything I've ever posted here. She was the perfect mother for an introverted, achievement-oriented nerd trying to find his way in the world. Thanks for letting me share. [UPDATE: Thank you all for your kind words. It really means a lot to me.]
My condolences, sorry for your loss
