My sisters, aunt and I drove back to Texas this weekend to do one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. My mother is in a nursing home there with advanced Demetia. Her hospice nurse called us with information in March about her status. It was not good. She is dying. We went to tell her good bye. They don't expect her to last much longer. She is a ghost of the woman she use to be. It was one of the hardest things I had to do. I'm a complete mess. She was diagnosised with this years ago and is in the final stages. There are so many things she has missed and I couldn't share with her. My son barely knows who she is. She has never met my sisters kids. I miss her with everything in me right now. I don't write this for sympathy. I just wanted my friends here to know why I haven't been around. It's been a tough year already for me and mine. I will never know if my mother would be proud of the woman I am today. But I hope she would be.
Love to all,
Heather Lynn
