33. Sitting here as a grateful recipient, as well as giver, of hugs....

Oct 2013

My wife's mom passed away peacefully Sunday morning, following a very difficult battle with multiple health issues, as well as a pretty unhappy life after her husband dumped her following his "graduation" from AA. My wife's efforts here for her mom (she managed to get hospice care started, meaning passing at home instead of a hospital or rehab), and her difficult family, only reinforced what a really lucky man I am to have married such an angel.

Hugs to all - I know others have experienced losses recently; just haven't had time to acknowledge them in specific threads.
