Losing My Mother

[DonnerPartyOf404]

Mom actually called me early this evening while I was at the beginning of a cry fest over her.  She explained that she will be spending the next three days or so at my sister's house until the hospice nearby there is ready to admit her.

She told me all about who had visited today and such and that she was ready to go on to the great beyond.

What is so maddening for me is that I would love to see her one more time before she passes.  The issue in part is the 150 mile drive half it seems would be through traffic hell.  The more maddening issue is that my back more or less went out on me yesterday after picking something off the floor.  Moving around is a nightmare, especially since I have prescriptions to pick up and much needed laundry to do.  The pain is making me all thumbs causing me to drop things and not think clearly.

Getting older is so much fun.

Zoom or Face Time is better than nothing. We used it at family gatherings for those that could not make it. Even used it at my Aunt's funeral.

It really is not that bad, and is easy to connect. 

Still praying for your Mom.

FaceTime will be a good plan B if I am not up to making the visit later next week.  Thanks for the idea and prayers.
