LOLabye

That was a long strange weekend. Friday, I got a call that my LOL was in the hospital - and not expected to leave. After hospital visits on Friday and Saturday, I went and emceed a Dr. Sketchy, which induced some cognitive dissonance. Then, her family called early Sunday to say that she had died on Saturday night.

Well...she didn't have to go live in the hospital wing; her family and friends got to say goodbye; at the end, a picture of her husband was tucked up in her hospital bed with her.

Here she was in happier days, when she still lived in her flat in Stokes Valley and had her cat Tyger. Who is hopefully waiting for her where she is going.



Me? I'm OK; I shed my tears on Sunday morning and then, fortunately, spent the day in the company of friends. Planning a little break from volunteering, until the end of October.

I'm so sorry, but glad you were able to make her final months happy ones. You've inspired me to make weekly visits to my grandmother, who is not doing well. It makes me feel better to know I'm making her happy like you did with your LOL.

-big hug- My visits weren't always perfect; sometimes she'd be tired or unwell, or I wouldn't have anything particularly interesting. And other times we'd hit a sweet spot of conversation, as you do.
