Lost my mom today. Oct 30

Still processing the whole picture of the phone call I received moments after arriving in the parking lot of the nursing home my mom spent the last 15 months in. My sister had a gut sense of something being "off" with Mom starting Friday afternoon. I arrived at about 2:25 and tried to chill for a few minutes of a power nap in the front seat of my truck, when the phone rang from the man in charge to ask where I was. When I told him I was in their parking lot, he said he would meet me in the lobby.

At this point, I knew.

I knew this was going to be a surprise of the bad news. He told me that Mom passed at around 2:15 pm.

Around 3:45 my sister arrived and then began our 5 hour send off to our sweet mommy. I am now doing my best to battle back any stupid tears. I have to be strong in order to now process all the details of funerals, travel, family time and all the legal etc ramifications.

I sure am proud of my brave and most loving mom any kids could have ever had.

Love you Ma.
Yeah dude,
it's probably the most difficult thing you will have to live through in your entire life.
You will never forget your mom; part of her will always be a part of you.

Echo that on mom. Don’t know what it is. Don’t know why it is. Doesn’t matter how old you are or how old she is….. when mom barks there is only one appropriate response….. “yes mom!”
