MOTHER'S DAY 2014 My mother dies

This was intended to be a Mother's Day celebration with her family.

It didn't turn out that way.  Three days before, on the day people were arriving, she died. 

We were with her.  She did not die alone.  That would have made my father happy.

So, instead of a celebration, we held a small memorial for her.  She would have liked seeing us all together.

 
 

 

Vicky had made Red Velvet cake, at her request, and she had some.  Her last request in the hospital was for bacon. The staff didn't think she should have it, but we said:  "she wants bacon."  She ate it.

Our mother was a real mother. 

We spent the few days together, just appreciating the fact that we were a family.
