Mom passed away today. Shes survived bouts with cancer and a tricky ticker, all years ago at this point. Her arthritis was increasingly debilitating but not life-threatening in the least and a course of PT and OT this summer was quite promising in giving her enhanced quality of life. Unfortunately a GI problem of some sort swept in about a week ago. She long wished to avoid a lingering demise and we should be glad she got her wish. As of yesterday it sounded like she was getting better or Id have made plans to fly back home. Naturally its sad not to have been with her, but we have great memories and family portraits and movies from this summer when she met her first grandchild. While Ive been abroad 20 years, weve still kept in excellent touch and would have a long phone talk every weekend without fail. Thanks all for adding some spark to her life. She still recalled with interest not only our various relatives, but also friends of mine from Cherokee to West to KU and enjoyed hearing from me about the adventures and accomplishments of you that she hadnt met.
