I apologize for the time it has taken me to thank you folks. It was difficult for me to accept such generosity and it is not something I would have ever asked for, though attending TAM has been a desire of mine for many years.
In struggling with how to deal with this, a friend said that to do anything other than accept thankfully and enjoy myself would be insulting to those who offered, and so I agreed. The kindness of the offering alone has been wonderful for my mother, and I can only imagine what an experience meeting you all will be for her and for me.
It's my intention to be a (small as it may have to be at first) part of helping others attend future TAMs. I cannot thank each of you enough.
