I didn't see her text the next day when i woke up while at BB. 1st time in so many years. I did send her my morning txt and wanted to cal and enquire if everything was OK. Discussions of BB's Saturday episode took away all time, and just before I went onto the stage, I got a cal saying she was hospitalized.

My mother, the one who gave such a tight hug before I left for the shoot, was no more within the next few hours. It's a hard-hitting truth that will take its own time to penetrate into our minds and hearts. My mother was a great soul, and I will miss her.
