Seeing a rapid difference! Drove during the night to be there new year. ( I was going through some stuff). Even though she was more confused, She knew there's was something wrong ! 2 weeks later, she deteriorated, hospital for weeks. They wanted to put her in a home on palliative care! Not in hells chance. She was stubborn. A strong woman. She hardly knew any of us. During the time we had with her, we all laughed, oh my goodness, we cried. We would get on at her to bring her back, just for a few seconds. She passed in April 2009. Nothing was conventional. I won't go into details. I just wanted to share this. The first time I have ❤.
