    These are very loving memories you will have with all these friends and family being around you. My DH passed in a MC facility, and I remember all the love that we both were shown during this time. Please take care of yourself and get some rest. You're in my prayers. Hugs Zetta

    How good of Mikey to know that you needed him ( or her) and that he ( or she) wanted to be there. I hope you didn’t yell too much. How strong your daughter is to come up with something to make you laugh.

    Thank you for the update. Please make sure you take the time you need to rest ( if not now, then after).

    I just saw this and am so very sorry. Having your beloved family with you as well as the caring from so many in staff and with Hospice for support is truly a blessing.

    My thoughts are with you as are all of us who stand by you in spirit.

    Thank you for the update. The love of your family is so comforting. Staff coming by, these are wonderful things. But, alas, you know what is a head. You are mentally and physically exhausted now, I can't imagine it will get any better. Please try to take care of yourself. What a rock you've been.

    A lot of prayers are coming your way. I'm glad you have family to help you through this time because it will be them who gives you reason to be here at all. I just wish it were a little easier.

    You know your family (even when you said don’t come) would be nowhere else but by your side! That’s what a loving family does, stand by each other. So glad you have them with you . Prayers for you and your family.
