I count it a priviledge to be able to take care of my mom at the end of her life, but I must admit, I'm mentally exhausted. The days have become one big blur. I had decided to come home around 4:00 today, and I went in to see Mom and noticed that there was a significant change in just a few short minutes. It became apparent to us that she was rapidly failing.
But, what do we know? We thought that by 4:10 she would be gone. It is now 10:58 p.m. and she still hangs on. Jon said, "I wouldn't expect anything less from my Grandma." Meaning, she never gives up. She is a very determined woman and I guess she's just not ready to let us go. Tenacious - that's my mom!
