My dad spent the last several years of his life demented. I know what you mean about missing who they were while they are still here.

Maybe I was catching a vibe of the joy mom was feeling herself being released from the misery her life had become - that's what I'd like to think anyway. There is still a great peace though - I'm glad it is over and it was "good".
