Yesterday, hubby’s mother passed on to new life. She was almost 87-years old
and suffering from dementia. She had been blessed with a good, long life, and a very loyal son. He sat by her bedside with the Hospice nurse until she took her last breath. I thought of how she had brought him into this world and now he had ushered her out. It's sweet, really, a natural part of life. The heart can easily accept when the body is finished and a life has been well lived. So we step up into our new position in life . . . parentless parents of adult children. And we look forward to much more Joy to come.
There’s a wedding to be planned!

Oh Deb, I hope you sweet hubby's heart is at ease. It must be terrible to lose a parent, but I'm glad she had a good life and a son who loved her.
