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
