24. That is certainly a lot to bear in such a short time.

Feb 2015

I will soon be 64, and my mom is going to be 93. I wonder every day how much longer she will be with me.

In many a sympathy card, I have said that, no matter how old we are, and no matter how much of a release it may be from a life that has become unrewarding, I don't think we are ever completely ready to bid that final farewell to the woman who loved us before she even met us.

Wishing you inner strength, and people around you who are strong enough for you to lean on when your own strength wavers.
