Monday was his last day of work. Tuesday was a new beginning with errands, resting a little and lunch with a friend. It was off to a great start, then we got the phone call. John's 94 year old mother had fallen and was on the way to the emergency room. Plane reservations, phone calls, packing the suitcase and he left the next morning to fly to Kansas City. Lucille declined quickly and passed away on May 15, 2011, John's birthday. We felt the sting of death but recognized the fact that she had lived life on her own terms, never having to enter an assisted living facility and going quickly when her time came. The memorial service celebrated the wonderful life that she had lived.
And life goes on...
