Mother's Day
A bonus Mother's Day post for all you faithful out there. Don't worry, haven't forgot about the current Socks vs. Salsa competition (a lot of Anonymous socks out there, apparently, turning the tide in that favor...) but thought a nice (albeit brief) Holiday post was in order.
“I wonder if we could do Other Mother's Day next year...”
-- Neil Gaiman 05/10/03
“While across the ocean (but still only a click away), Bloomsbury's website has the gorgeous Wolves in the Walls screensaver and ecards at http://www.bloomsbury.com/wolvesinthewalls/wolves.htm. I'd suggest giving it as Mother's Day present, except it probably isn't a very good one. Nor is Coraline, unless they start having Other Mother's Day.”

“Happy Mother's Day”
-- Neil Gaiman 05/09/04
And Since Mary Gaiman is the mother of Neil's brood, I will take today, Mother's day, to introduce: Mary Gaiman: Fact or Fiction? Does she really exist? I've collected the evidence. Now you decide.
“While Maddy [told] jokes and rimshots… Holly and Mary were down at the other end of the table trying to have a sensible conversation...”
– Neil Gaiman 05/22/05
“As for family... I've told on several occasions the story of how I got my first really powerful review in Locus, from Tom Whitmore, in 1989, and I read the sentence that made me happiest to my wife. "The voice of Gaiman," I read aloud, proudly, "is the voice of Marlowe and Poe." "That's very nice," she said. "Now will you take out the garbage?" which brought me down to earth with a sensible bump. And I did.”
–Neil Gaiman 01/27/02
“Went with Maddy and my assistant Lorraine last night to see Pacific Overtures in Minneapolis (Mary wanted a report back on the show before she goes).”
– Neil Gaiman 01/23/04
“Mary arrived home a couple of hours before I had to leave for the airport.”
– Neil Gaiman 12/09/05
(Which discounts the you-never-see-them-in-the-same-place-so-they-must-be-the-same-person-theory that's been floating around for years... I think.)
"I don't think that an understanding supportive spouse is important. I do think not having a spouse (or significant other) who doesn't believe in you is probably very important…"
--Neil Gaiman 07/17/04
“I did a site search for "wife" and was relieved to see more than twenty references to mine, by me, on this journal. She doesn't get mentioned as much as, say, Maddy, but then, Maddy will say things like "Have you mentioned me on your journal recently? Say that I'm cool. No, don't say I said to say I was cool. Just say I'm cool." Whereas my wife is happier to be a shadowy and mysterious figure in the background, or something.”
– Neil Gaiman 12/26/03
And I must wish a Happy Mother's day to my on beautiful wife, Djenn, without whom, I would be a terrible (and most likely jailed-for-neglect-and-endangerment) parent. She teaches me how to be a better parent every day, and mothers my daughter better than I have seen any woman mother any child. I'm thankful that both my daugher and I have her to learn from, and I want the whole world to know it.

I'm glad to know it. I didn't realize how negative hearing about a marriage end would be until I was alarmed to read that his assistant woke him for work. Until that moment, I had happily believed that she was proudly private property (her own) but the idea that she wasn't around was so uncomfortable that I had to look for her today.
I had always assumed Mr Gaiman's wife was related to Columbo's wife.
Mary Gaiman is a scumbag scientologist who gives millions to the cult. In 2010, Mary Gaiman gave half a million to the "super powers center." Mary Gaiman still calls the shots as Neil Gaiman's business partner and feeds The Blank Corp's money into Scientology.
