Hi all. Huge thanks to you for this outpouring of love and grief. My mum was a wonderful person online and in real life. She cared about people, prayed for them for years, and would give you the shirt off her back. She and I disagreed on a lot of things but we both found strength and comfort in our online communities, and that is something we bonded over. Although we were polar opposites, I had huge respect for her ability to fight for what she believed in. I admired her spirit immensely.
She has taught me many things - cooking, sewing, gardening, knitting, and how to live on nothing and still amass an amazing art collection. So much more than that.
I misspoke when I told MAGAKitty she was reading her Bible. It was actually her Daily Light. This is a collection of verses for morning and evening. Technically biblical; I tend to simplify when I am running out of spoons.
I wanted to add that most people here are Christians and Americans, but not everyone is.
I am not Christian for example, or American.
We have anons from all over the world and lots of different nationalities and backgrounds.
It helps actually. When something interesting happens in Japan, or South Africa, France or Finland for example We have someone local to help us interpret what's happening. The same goes for different communities and ethnic groups within the US. We have anons here from everywhere.

Everyone is welcome here if they are respectful.
Your mother was a top contributor here and was well loved so you will find lasting support here if you would like it.
What we'd say here is: "Where we go one, we go all"
One way of looking at that is that we leave nobody behind - just like your mum's attitude.
I'm actually really curious to know how big this community is!
