No easy way to say this...
After fighting valiantly for four years, my mother gave up yesterday morning. She had been a chronic dialysis patient for eight years. For the latter half of that, she was in and out of hospitals for various surgeries. Congestive heart failure, brought on by massive infection is what the doctors say killed her. Tough as any of are, we only have a finite amount of fight in us. I was amazed at the physical stamina and inner strength she showed.
Funny, pouring my Irish heart out to a bunch of imperfect strangers, but this is a funny community we all inhabit here on GunBroker. Just thought you'd like the update. There were quite a few of you who offered prayers and good thoughts when I posted that she had had a particularly close call, and I appreciated it immensely.
I'm going to spend the day at my father's house, learning how to accept, with dignity and grace, that which we cannot change.
Thanks for listening.
