Mother has passed away...

Sad to say, but my Mom passed away Thursday morning.  I wrote about her and my step-dad Mel who visited with me this spring for a little more than 3 weeks.  She'd had a stroke on Monday, and  fairly soon they told us it was massive and she was unresponsive and they advised placing her in Hospice as she needed 24/7 care and there really wasn't any treatment.   You never want to lose your Mom, but she wouldn't have wanted to continue within those dynamics, it had been long and bad enough with just the Alzheimers.  So I'm at peace with it.  She'll be buried next Saturday, which would have been her 87th Birthday.  Rest with God, mama.
