Hi Muffy,

I did not have any last moments to spend with either parent. Unfortunately abuse circumstances proibited me from being able to spend the last two Christamases with my father.

When I was told he died on the phone I went into the shower and had this expereince of being held by him as a child .

With my Mother I was told about her last words to my Neighbor Mary . She just spoke her name with a fightened look . She had a brain anurisum and never regained conciousness, I did not get to say good by to either one.

it was a surreall experience . I never felt quite there durring both weeks of the funerals. just portions come back durring those times.
