janwax's blog: Changes

I don't know if I mentioned that my husband and I have been doing eldercare at home with my very elderly mother.
She's lived with us for nearly 3 years after breaking her hip. She moved from Florida to California to live with us. This
past year she has been totally bedridden - an invalid - as her health declined. Her heart was very weak, she had COPD, and
she was on oxygen. We gave her round-the-clock care.
Two days ago , at age 98 and a half, she passed away peacefully in her sleep.
She was a beautiful woman, inside and out, and a remarkable pianist.
The irises were something she looked forward to.
She is and will continue to be, missed.
