Many family members are here at the Mather, greeting friends and visiting with the staff. The Mather staff, as well as the nurses from Midwest are wonderful caregivers, who love Mom and are so respectful of her.
Today, for some reason, she has had her eyes open, seemingly regarding each visitor with her classic discerning eye. Is she having the conversations in her mind that she would otherwise have had with the rest of us?
Although this weekend is very surreal for us as her family, many of her friends are preparing for the celebrations of the holiday, and it is sweet to wish all of them a happy holiday. We will be here celebrating Mom’s life with her.
Arrived home last night after visiting Tasha. Getting my head around the situation.
I needn’t tell you all how much she has meant to me, you know. I went to sleep last night with an image in my mind of her sunning in the garden she loved, watching Cosmo play. If there is a heaven, that will be hers….and Bill’s.
Love to all of you. Esther
