My mother passed away this morning after being very sick for way too long. So much of who I am comes from her and I will miss her even more than I realize.
Now she has moved beyond pain. I love you mom.
And so…
Today my mother went into a hospice. I had been there in Florida for the past week with my family, watching her slowly deteriorate. Now at least she will be made comfortable. Even tho I realize that it is merely the body that dies, a setting aside of clothes that no longer fit and that soon she will be much happier and free of physical pain, saying goodbye or even abientot has been harder, even than I thought.
