Hi, Sweet PC friends...You are like family!
Well, I've spent another 12 hour night from 8 p.m. till this morning 8 a.m. with Mom. I did try to talk to her and tell her it's okay to let go. I tried to tell her of any unfinished business, like calling my aunt, which is one of the last things she asked while she was still coherent.
I've talked to her a lot, and to some of the things I've said, she has blinked her eyes or raised her eyebrows. One of the nurses asked, "Is she waiting for someone?" They have all expressed surprise that she is hanging on so long.
My dad died the day after Thanksgiving, 18 years ago. I don't know...Maybe that's what she's going to do.
LOVe
Patty
