In loving memory

/ fearsomebeard / 28 Comments

My mother died yesterday.
It wasn’t a surprise.
She has been declining for a long while and took a sharp turn a few weeks ago with another fall and a gash to her head.
She did the best she could but at 91, and in declining health, overcoming that challenge wasn’t in her capabilities.
She fought leaving, however her body was done.
Fortunately my brother was able to fly out here and be with her this week.
We loved her and she loved us.
During one short period of lucid thoughts and communication on Tuesday she out of the blue said “I want you to take a picture of us”.

She knew.

Her great grandson Caleb drew this for her yesterday evening after her passing. He did a great job as I can tell that Angel is her.

Godspeed mom.
I Love you.
