Another nice story Todd. Thanks.

While at the hospital today I was reading of other similar stories.

I also learned today what is actually happening, the process of dying.

Mom is in a steady sleep state that changed to a very peaceful mode about 2AM. Her body is slowly shutting down and no one really knows how long because it is different for every person.

The Hospice literature, talking to the hospital social worker staff, talking with my boss today (he lost both parents to cancer, and the person I replaced at work also died from lung cancer), and your prayers, helped me to understand and accept.

I feel a sense of peace now, Thanks!

I left the hospital a little while ago because it was getting really crowded. I have seven sisters and three brothers, so you can imagine!

I got there the second time yesterday after hours. They only allow three people in per room after hours, but they allowed 25 of us to hang out all night long!

I was talking to the staff in charge last night, and they never see this size of crowd. The gal in charge said she would have kicked us all out, but we were so well behaved;... Good Genetics smile

Wait till the rest of us show up grin

Peace, and Thanks! smile
