Together again…

My mother Eileen passed away last night. I went to visit her after dance class and she literally died 30 seconds before I walked into her room with the nurse. It was actually better that it happened this way instead of getting that final phone call.

Matt is a nurse who has been through the last eight years with me caring for and dealing with my mother. Miraculously, he was there last night since I was there alone. He was caring, warm, and compassionate; it really was like I was with an old friend. He was there for a there last night for a reason; I appreciate his kindness more than he will ever know.

So many amazing people cared for my mother over the last 8 years from nurses, LNAs, physical therapists, food service and housekeeping staff as well as social workers and office personal. I am forever grateful for all of these caring, wonderful people.

Now my parents are together again after 21 years. I hope she at peace; I am relieved that everything is over. It has been a long difficult journey; I am exhausted both emotionally and physically…I’m taking a few days off to take care of myself and recuperate.

Today is Marty and my 32nd wedding anniversary…I’ll write about that another time. It’s going to be more low key than normal given the circumstances and because is still having severe back pain.

Have a good rest of the week and thank you all for your kind words and support this week. Love & hugs 💕
