Mom passes

Mom died sometime between 10pm and 11:30pm last night at a local nursing home.  She was seriously ill with end stage congestive heart failure.  I spent part of the evening with her, until about 9pm.  She seemed hot, so I washed her face, hands and arms with a cool cloth.  I watched her breathe and felt so bad that it had come to this for her.

The good news is that she is no longer in pain, no longer unhappy, no longer missing my Dad.  I will write more later, but this is all I can do right now.  I am so tired, I just need to go to bed.
