The one you don't want to have to write

I have been a bit adrift lately.  My lovely mother recently passed away.  She was 90 years old, but it came as a shock just the same.

Her passing was not Covid related,but that is not to say that Covid did not have an impact. Safety  restrictions made it so much harder to navigate her final days.  We were not allowed to visit her in the hospital for 4 days, and were only able to have a short visit to say "Goodbye" when her status was changed to Hospice patient.

Her funeral took place outside at the cemetery and only her immediate family were in attendance.  Sharing our grief and finding consolation with a hug was forbidden.  

Mom and Dad were high school sweethearts, and raised a family of five children. They were married for 63 years before my father passed away in 2016.


I do find comfort in knowing that they are together again.

Miss you both.
