    Once again, thank you all for keeping my mom in your thoughts and prayers. Mom passed earlier tonight at 6:00 PM. I have been on the phone for almost the last seven hours and am just now settling down at home. It’s still surreal to me that she’s gone. She turned 79 last week, I’m 43, and am running on pure sleeplessness right now. Thankfully mom had everything planned out so there are no arrangements to be made, we took care of them over a month ago. I still can’t wrap my head around that she’s gone and haven’t outright cried yet and am kind of nervous about going to sleep as I don’t want reality to settle in yet. I’ve now read what I’ve written so far and think I had better stop babbling on. Thank you for being a place where I can set down what’s buzzing through my head.

    Thank you all for the welcome. I’m with mom right now playing some of her favorite music (The Mills Brothers, Camelot, Elvis). We are very close now. She is gulping for air and lungs are rattling. But I’m glad she’s going to where there is no cancer and no pain.
