My feisty little mom passed away this morning at 8:20 am after a pretty rough night for both of us.
I'm exhausted, but relieved. My sons managed to arrive minutes before she left - and now I believe she was waiting for them to come and say their goodbyes. She WAS a good grandmother to them. We spent the morning resting and reminiscing and once mom's body was picked up, my middle son took me to the local pub, where we raised a glass to mom, played some casino games (which she loved) in her memory, and enjoyed our visit. He is staying the night with me tonight. Joe arrives tomorrow and we will begin getting ready for the Camino.
I want to thank each of you for your. kind words, prayers, and thoughts.
I love this community for the support and friendship I always feel here.
I hope to see you on The Way!
Annie
