Well. We're back.
Jan. 28th, 2007 02:36 pmWe just got home.
wildernessguru's mom passed away at 3:40am Saturday morning.
Not chatty at the moment. More details later.
As it works out, if we hadn't built in that extra day for the nationals -- which I blew off -- we would have arrived late Friday night with plans to see her on Saturday... and she would have been gone.
As it was, the entire family, all the kids and grandkids were there Friday.
Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, candles, and good wishes. I know they helped. Talk to you tomorrow.

This was as good as it gets -- beautiful hospice, all the family around her telling her what a great mom she's been, meds, and passing away peacefully with her husband at her side. She seemed very peaceful. And it was still terrible.
