Checking in here. I am doing okay. Long story shortened: Mom had a spell (passed out) late on the 29th and was taken to the hospital. On the 30th was diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer and a hyenal (sp) hernia. Was not operated on until the 31st, where she did extremely well. Everything was fine, fine, fine. Medicare wouldn't pay for another night so she was in the process of being discharged on the 1st. I talked to Mom on the 31st a few hours after her operation and even joked that she would do just about anything to not have to hand out Halloween candy and keep it all to herself. She laughed at that. I will keep the memory of her laughter in my soul. My sister was with her the morning of the 1st and stepped out of the room for a minute and when she came back Mom was gone. Nothing could be done to bring her back. The doc and nurses are baffled. I guess her heart just couldn't take it finally. My siblings and I were so excited that she had done so well and was going to go to my sister's house to heal up and recover. We are all stunned.
I want to thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, prayers. I am going to need them. This is so, so hard. None of us kids can believe what happened. Mom wasn't in the greatest of health, but she was a strong woman. She raised 5 kids altogether and after Dad left her she raised my brother and I on her own. She was one of those people that you love as soon as you meet them. Always had a kind word (mostly) for everyone. She went thru alot of heartache in her life, but never gave up (she almost did, but that's another story). All of us kids are scattered across the country so we can't get down to Texas to help my sister. But, Mom is already cremated and at some point we are to all go to Pennylvania to lay her ashes at the cemetary next to her Mom and Dad.
I ask all of you to go to your loved ones and hug them and tell them that you love them. Let them know. Let them know.

Thank you, Scott. I really, really, really need that hug.......you grieve, I grieve...my friend, reach out if you need me, these big arms are always ready for a hug or to accept tears...I pray her passage to the clearing was as easy as possible, and that she is now at peace...she did a wonderful job raising a son as good-hearted and kind as you....know that you're loved, and go see mama off with good memories and reflection on the love she gave...
Holding you and family in prayers and inner peace.
Oh honey... you're breaking my heart. I am so sorry, (((Dana))) xox
((((KRF and his family)))) Miss Mary left a beautiful legacy in her children. We are here, Sir, you know where to look, eh?
Yes, indeed I do know where to look. Thank you. My friends here are and always have made my burden easier. There is no better group of 'folken' around. Words have power- the power to hurt, to teach, but most of all to let others know that someone cares and that is why I love coming here.
I'm very sorry to hear that kingricefan. Whether you're six or sixty, losing a parent packs quite a punch. All the best, mal.
I am so sorry sweetheart. It is very hard to lose a parent.
Thank you. It's getting better but is still not easy.
(((Dana))) Continued prayers for peace for you and your family.
...anytime old friend....your love for her is palpable, and I can see why....another star is shedding it's glow on your heart....
