Well I got thru the last few days o.k. I was able to relay a funny story about you last Wednesday. I went to the doctor to get on replacement hormones (yes I am officially in menopause..no periods, night sweats..really I can't believe this is happening to me!). So...the doctor asked what other factors do I think I may be in menopause? I tell him that I had heard you could use your mother 's age when she entered menopause as a gage when you would most likely also--which he replies "exactly". So...I tell him when my brother was around 17 or 18..one Saturday he informed my mother he was going to first fix his motorcycle then cut the grass..her response was to throw his clothes on the lawn and kick him out of the house--so I'm guessing that is when my mom was in menopause (deducing around age 48 like I am right now). He starting cracking up.
Switching subjects...I watched a documentary tonite "How to die in Oregon" where assisted suicide is legal. It follows a woman thru her diagnosis of liver cancer (she was 54) to her utilizing the option of basically taking a doctor prescribed dosage of 100 capsules of Seconal to overedose. So at the very end she is there with her husband and two grown children. They decide to all sing a song together. They sing "You are my sunshine". Need I say more.

ReplyDeleteBroke down sobbing when I read that last line. I have thought so many times how she did so many things right away to let us know she is not just in our hearts but still sees and watches over us and what we do and I desperately pray she keeps doing that....prayers answered! Thank you so much for posting this, I needed it...Love you.
