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.
