Travel home - There's a lot to unpack here. Tuesday morning I talked to mom and she sounded better than I heard her sound in a long time. So much so, I called the nurse's station to see if the I was getting the correct information. The nurse said her vital signs were good, but sometimes, patients are at thier best before the end. We called her several times that afternoon and when we finally got her to pick up, she was completely out of it. So, after a lot of stress and debates on the best way to get home, we decided to take the rental and drive.

It was a long horrible day. About 12:30 Dennis called to tell us she had passed. We had made it to Alabama just outside of Pelham. At one point, I thought I was having a heart attack, with left arm pain and had to pull over and get out of the car. I don't recall what time we got home, but we were both sad and exhausted.
