My mom passed away at 5am today.
I've spent the day packing up her belongings from the nursing home, and viewing her body.
She was so quiet, she looked like she was just asleep. The skin on her cheek was so soft, I touched her face and rubbed her arm and I expected to see her open her eyes any moment, and say, oh, I must have drifted off.
I can't believe she's gone.
Now she's out of pain. And so am I.
