     DH’s Mom died in her sleep yesterday morning at 12:10 a.m.  We hope she is at peace and finally pain-free. 

     We’re no longer in a race with the nursing home to clear personal items out of the MIL’s house.  The wily woman beat the nursing home to the punch.  They were making noises about the possibility of taking it.  Mom always did say she wanted DH to have the house and that’s why she insisted in remaining there as long as she did.

     We spent two hours at the funeral home and then went over to the house to search for a death certificate for his father that we were told we needed.  The hunt took another two hours and we came up empty.  We know that somewhere in the chaos there are at least two of them.  We also know that when we order more through the funeral home the lost ones will magically appear.  Isn’t that how it always works?

     My posting this week might become erratic so bear with me.

    So sorry for your loss but I’m glad she managed to screw them at the last.

    Thinking of you both x

    I am so sorry for the loss of DH’s mom. I’m sure he has many good memories of her in the past he can cling to. I know it was especially hard on both of you these last few years. Parents do seem to become more demanding, obstinant and cranky as they get older….I’m experiencing that right now, although currently she is in a more charitable mode, lol.

    Thanks.

    R.I.P. To a great lady and Mother of my best friend.
    It probably goes without saying…but if there is “ANYTHING” you guys need you know it is there for the asking.

    Thanks, Dear.

    Thinking of you at this sad time. Even though you were half expecting it, it still comes as a shock when it happens.
    Love to DH.
    PS Glad she had the last laugh on the nursing home!

    Thank you. Yes, she deserved the last laugh.

    The world’s a little less bright without her in it. Through your posts, I admired her courage, tenacity and spunk. I will miss her too. My thoughts and best wishes to you, DH, Her and all those that she touched so brightly.

    She certainly was tenacious and full of spunk. She will be missed.
