Poised to Fly Home...

We just got a call from Dr. M’s Aunt J. His mother has possibly had another stroke & is now unresponsive. She may not live more than a week or two. I am so glad that he got to spend quality time with her on Saturday. She recognized him and was happy to see him – it’s a good memory.



Dr. M thought
his family was more
dysfunctional than most.

He thought.

But she welcomed me
with open arms &
I knew that they were just fine.

Just shows you can’t judge
a family from the inside.

And that his mother had
excellent taste.

I’ll miss you Frances
almost as much as your
son will.

    Oh, ouch. Glad you all had that time with the family, and especially, as you note, Dr. M's time with Mom on Saturday. Holding you all in prayer.
