May 16 2010 from Cleveland

Dear Son, about the TEDxDar tickets -- yes, Edward and Hilda should each find their tickets in their email inboxes! Stella's ticket with her name on it should go to your email address, because I provided your email address for her ticket. Can you check your email inbox to see if you received a second ticket with Stella's name on it? In the meantime, I will check with Kathleen and ask her about it.

Also, yes it's fine for Hilda to arrive at TEDxDAR around 2 pm. She can simply arrive at that time with her ticket and enjoy the afternoon presentations -- and the afterparty!

I will be very glad to know you got the money safely at Western Union! It's a lot of cash and I pray for your peace and safety always every day. I will be especially excited to hear all the details of your new room with electricity!

Cleveland is beautiful in the weather, but lots of people in Cleveland are upset about the Cavaliers! They are upset we lost to the Celtics, and upset that LeBron did not play as a strong leader should, and upset that LeBron is now a "free agent," which means his contract is expired and he is free to leave Cleveland to join another team.

Okay, I will let you know what Kathleen says about Stella's ticket!

MAY GOD ALWAYS BLESS MY FINE SON IN EVERY WAY!

Your proud and loving Mum
