Good Evening, I hope your having a happy day and all is well... Im going to keep it short tonight, our daughter is going to be busy tomorrow and we are going to go see her for a short visit so.. but at the same time I wanted to continue on the last month of Mas life.. Let me first say that until the very end she had 100 percent of her mind working everyday and at 93 she functioned very well, did her all that needed to be done with no major issues.. as I said, I called her several times a day starting at 6 oclock in the morning and made my last call at 8:30 to 9 oclock at night, just to check in and make sure that she was ok and had no problems, and if she did thats when she would get out any things that happened that would bother her. so it was an everyday thing, On the day that I last called her she was fine at 6 in the morning and off I went to work.. at 10AM I called her again only this time there was no answer, so I tried at least 4 or 5 times to reach her and still no response, I decided to call my sister Rose and asked her to go to Mas and make sure that she was alright. Rose went and I called her at Mas about a half hour later, she told me she found Ma passed out, sitting on the living room couch.. she called an ambulance and was rushed to the hospital, I left work and shot to the hospital where she was in emergency being evaluated.. the date was October 29th 2007... It turned out the Ma had passed out and they thought the reason was a reaction to medication she was taking,, but they decided to leave her in for a few more days for more tests, we went to see her that night and she was asleep so we went home and called again in the morning still no real answers, four days later she was put on new meds and was sent to Rehab to gain some strength and do some resting.. In total, Ma spent almost three weeks there and had slow recovery until she had another episode and needed to go to the hospital again, everyday Minnie and I and my sister and brother went to see Ma, sometime seeming to feel better, other times seemed to be The days got to the point where it was November and Thanksgiving fifteen minutes of being seated Ma was falling asleep in her chair and thanks giving dinner was over.. As it turned out she got worse and developed bed sores that were very painful and she was failing every day for two more weeks... .. Minnie and went every day stayed with her, sometimes not sure if she even knew we were there. On December 11th, 2007 at 10:37 at night, the phone rang and the nurse called to tell me that Ma was gone.... I cant tell you how this strong, vibrant little lady went from a healthy strong woman to dying within 39 days... All I know is that when I heard that Ma passed, I died that night too, a piece of my heart left me and went with Ma.. I am a firm believer that from the day we are born till the day we die, our lives are planned to happen when they happen, and whether it happens when your 44 or 54 or 93, when you lose your Mother, or Father, or brother or sister or son or daughter, a piece of you dies too.. your never ready to accept it, and let it go, its forever with you till you leave this earth and join your loved ones in Heaven.. I left out some of the things that Ma went thru and we kids went thru, My uncle Frank, Mas younger brother, who is now 94 himself, talks to me of his love for his sister, my Mother and he talks of one day joining Ma and my Aunt Mary and seeing them again.. I am leaving it for tonight.. Ive said it to you before and I will say it again tonight, If your lucky enough to have your parents still here with you, call them, see them when you can, But most of all TELL THEM YYOU LOVE THEM EVERDAY.. NEVER HAVE A MINUTE OF REGRET THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE..dont ever let that happen.. good night... see you tomorrow...God Bless..
