Mommy...
9-20-01

My mother died at Farfallas. I didn't love...her until she was gone. Now I do...admire her...
Never lost her cool--- never lost face, either. She never...acted like a girl...or a man...she was a woman... in the most _noble_ sense of the word...
But she could laugh...I love her laugh...She laughed once just for me...at me...but inside of my sulk I was happy...sort of...
The Leprechaun...that other ship...why can't I remember?...her friends...allies...colleagues...she lost so much for the ship and the android...she couldn't even keep them...she died trying...
I finally had a mother--my first mother--but I _loved_ her, too...she was a mother...no, my sister, no, a chick...no, my mother...she was...
Hilda died at Farfallas. And I will kill the man who killed my mother.
