102. I am so sad for you --
Fri Dec 23, 2011, 08:17 PM
Dec 2011

but I agree, she didn't want you to be there when she went.

So I'm glad you got to say goodbye, and glad that one of her last memories is that of her loving child giving her permission to go. And, glad it was a short illness.

But still, so sorry for you.
