Even when it is expected and all, it never feels like it was. I still catch myself thinking that it's time to call Dad (I called to check on him nearly every day right before K got home from school) and I find he comes up in my references in conversation a lot more with my daughter.<br /><br />Don't underestimate the toll grief can take on you, be kind to yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-87592832187549217862009-05-28T09:36:49.152-04:002009-05-28T09:36:49.152-04:00I'm sorry to hear about your mom.

About the penny thing, as I have gotten older Im beginning to believe in signs not that it couldnt be just a coincidence but still...I wonder.<br /><br />I dont want to say I know how you feel but yeah I have sort of been there just got back from the hospital after my mom was taken there after having a mild stroke (her fourth) only this is like the long slow goodbye.<br /><br />She always said she would rather die than go to assisted living but there was no other alternative. Unfortunately unlike your mother mines more a pessimist and right now is giving the nurses hell since in addition her memory is shot and cant recall what you tell her from 10 seconds to the next. Bad day.SWFirewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554382324814293320noreply@blogger.com
