Another photo of Mom and me that I don’t recall ever seeing before. I already miss you so much, Maa. You were the best mom. I know everyone thinks their mom is the best, but you truly were.

Thanks to my Uncle John for sharing this.

Found this picture online while trying to figure out how one great
uncle was related to us. It’s of my mom’s mom and maternal grandmother. My Grandma Noah is on the left. My Granny Thelma Mayhall is on the right. Grandma Noah apparently has amazing red hairβ€”and as you can see lots of it.

Crying eldest son.

Crying eldest son.

I instantly start balling just like I did back in January of 2021 when I thought that we were going to lose Mom to a perforated bowel. I heard it back then in the shower and I did that sink down crying in the shower thing that’s a trope in movies and television. Corny but true. Here I am today:

If able and comfortable doing so, we would be grateful to have you as part of her memorial by submitting a few sentences about her. Pictures will also be a wonderful addition to the collection if you have any. Thank you for loving our mom. 🩷

From my sister Juliana:

Hi…our mom has been very ill and she is home on hospice and will transition soon. As we prepare for her memorial service, we would love to have stories, remembrances, words of appreciation for how she impacted your life.

She’s got a lot of literal fight left in her. She moves with surprising quickness for a somnolent person going through the literal process of dying. You got to dodge quick unless you want to catch them hands.

We have all decided against even trying to get her to dialysis tomorrow. Getting her there would be so potentially traumatic and scary for her and ultimately delaying the inevitable. She can’t help us move her. Even though she cannot walk, her arms are curiously strong.

She confessed in an unfiltered moment that she was pretty sure that she had dementia, but was hoping that she was wrong. He mother died of Alzheimer’s and mom has honestly been terrified and hyper-vigilant about any signs of dementia in herself. She was able to mostly hold it together until the

bacteremia with delirium and the hospital psychosis from being hospitalized or in a rehab since Father’s Day have really exacerbated it. I know that this is a normal process, but I want my mom back for just a little while. She knows we love her and we’ve never doubted her love, but I still hope to

Living 1,000 miles away, I pop in and out of Mom’s life, but one or both of them have been by her side for years. I hope before the end she won’t be upset at us, but I’m preparing for the worst. She had been hiding dementia from us (and herself) for some time and her multiple illnesses including

She’s sleeping 22-23 hours a day and refusing meds, food, and water. For some reason she won’t talk to her children, but will talk to complete strangers. I know not to take it personally, but it’s still very upsetting for us. Especially my sisters who have devoted so much to Mom’s care.
