May 2015

a nursing home after breaking her hip. Left there on May 2 for the 20 hour drive back home and was about 30 miles from home when my sister called to tell me my mother had passed away. Last week, I took care of some things, but over all, was bored.

Thanks for asking. One of my ex-coworkers said it took him almost a year to adjust.
