And so it ends...
Joy passed on Sept 22 after fighting a broken hip and a broken mind. Several years ago our mom left and we had the wonderful opportunity to care for a delightful elderly woman. As Joy's journey was ending, our mom came back and we embraced in her return.

Thank you, yes she was special, just like all of them are. At the end my mom came back for a brief moment, a sweet smile, a 'thank you and I love you'
