I got to see Mom today

The priest will be there tomorrow.

They moved her to a room all by herself. Dad is allowed to be there as much as he wants. (and we're not opposed to that as the facility and its staff has been testing completely negative for five weeks).

I thanked her for making things so beautiful for us all, and told her that I love her.

I held her hand. And said some Hail Mary's for her.

It's not likely I'll get to see her again.

I’m glad your father can be with her. So glad that you could see her also. This whole Covid situation is terrible for families.

Losing your Mom is such a hard loss.

May she pass gently and knowing that you love her.

It’s such a heart wrenching thing to have to endure and with all that’s going on in this old world- it just adds to your broken heart. I hope you can find some comfort and peace.

Wish I wasn’t there at that very time. It’s haunting.

With you in spirit MissMillie. Take care.

We were wishing her the best along with you, MissMillie. Good that you had that time with her today, giving her love. So precious.

Wishing you strength now, and peace.
