I tend not to share a great deal of personal news here, since I spend my time here largely sharing excerpts from material I'm reading daily that I hope may be of interest to others.

@aprilfollies Thank you. Yes, I'm so glad that my husband and I thought to visit her that day, never dreaming what was taking place and that she'd die soon after our visit. I wish there had been more ways to take leave, but she was unable to speak on this last hospital visit and I can understand.

@LaNaehForaday Thank you for saying that. Yes, I'm glad I felt an impulse not just to say goodbye (not knowing it was a final goodbye), but to reach out and pat her knee. I tell myself that meant something important to her. I hope so! It's hard to think that she knew at that time that she was facing death and had chosen to do that by having her oxygen support removed.

A moment of connection and care always has value, probably even more than you know. So glad you had that moment before she left. -

@wdlindsy Love is so powerful, it can be felt in a touch, seen in a look and heard in a word. We all face that day and you were there in it, with her. It matters. ️
