my mother was admitted to hospice last friday and they began to handle
things with my sister on saturday informing me i should make a trip down
in the comming weeks , i had planned for friday following [tomorrow] ,
they confirmed that would be a good schedule to plan on ,
i was working at the gun club on sunday and got the call mid-morning from my sister to come immediately , dropping everything and racing down i made it just a couple hours before she passed away , less than 6 hours from her next birthday , we think she wanted to appear younger in her obituary ....and just over ten years after my fathers death , my sister pointed out to a number of folks that we were now orphans ........its been a roller coaster of levity to loss , mom would have wanted the lightheartedness mixed into the feelings of sorrow , the last three days of meetings , visiting , and the funeral have left me tired but heavily loaded here at work , so ill be in and out this ong day as the breaks are required , all of my minnesota family were there and that made it all easier , |

We did wonder where you slid off to.
(We wanted to put in a group buy on boolits in your name (so we could charge your visa card).) Sorry to hear this, all the best in this time where friends do just pitch in. |

thanks all , its been an interesting time ,
my family as it relates to my mother are all south of me in iowa [or in arizona] and ive not lived there since 82 , being removed had its own issues in my mind , but my immediate family as it relates to me is all here in the north country , i was fortunate enough to have most all of them there for this , it went as well as these things do , and i can honestly say she is in a better place than she was a week ago , as to that group buy - my tongue was in my cheek - and im keeping what little is left of my credit limit in my pocket ........... |

In the last two years I have lost members of my family, I guess we come to a time in life when that happens. From my experience I know that nothing said eases the loss but for what it is worth my thoughts are with you.

I had been wondering where you had gotten off too, it's unusual not to see you posting. I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My deepest condolences.

ive been doing that as well , the good tmes are remembered , it was a different time and a time gone by , i hope my kids will have something like that in their memories , and i hope they forgive me for not being around as much as we would all have liked these last few seasonal events ,
this past few years the Alzheimer took its toll , she was unable to be at those functions and the adjustment has been hard on myself and my siblings , but ill give my kid sister credit for being the real trooper in spite of momentary breakdowns , she is one tuff cookie [no pun intended ] and i admire her for it , it does remind us to seek out and enjoy all we can with those we love while we have the opportunity , its all too soon gone |
