He understood that we had been slowly 'losing mum' as she got more confused. He was one of the few people who visited her so he witnessed how she had changed. If you decide to try it, I hope you enjoy colouring :-) Thank you :-)

The truth is, we're not powerful enough to control the outcome of multifactorial things for someone, especially with her in her 90s - it was just her time. Plus I KNOW how much you worried over her and how much time you spent shuttling her here and there for appointments. I doubt anyone could've done a better job! And the fact that you're still questioning yourself only further proves your tremendous character. Some people never even question their actions later or care about what happens to their parents, stick them in a skilled nursing facility and go on. But you and Mr. C. made sure she had constant personal care and supervision over any staff. Not everyone does that, these days, you know. On meaning to write, etc. - same! I guess we both can be forgiven as it's been a busy, difficult year for us both. Just know that I'm thinking of you and Mr. C. :) Much love and huggings xoxoxo PS - Just saw your new post about coloring - that's a good idea, I might try it too, while laid up, thank you! Well, I AM sure you and Mr. C did the best you could, even if you are not – does that count? :)

I'm so sorry to hear this! I'm so sorry I haven't been in touch, it's been a rough, busy year, culminating in the fact that I was in a bad car accident just a few days before you posted this - but the good news is, I'm on the mend. I do hope her passing was peaceful and may she rest in peace. You took excellent care of her, you know :) Hugs and much love xoxoxo Oh, Cherie! I’m so sorry to hear this!
