No one left to call me Peanuts

My mom died this morning at the age of 80. The last few days had been very hard for her. I did my best to make them a little brighter.

I'm so sorry, Helen. *hugs offered* My condolences to you and yours.

Thank you very much.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Thank you for sharing so much of her with us - in a way, we got to know her through you. Wishing you peace.

[fimbrethil]

Thank you. I guess you saw only one side but at the wake I was able to see the loving, generous side through the eyes of her friends. That helped a lot.

Oh, Helen, I am so sorry. A huge milestone, losing one's mother.

[fimbrethil]

Thank you. Yes, it is. At the wake, Howard helped me to realize I am the matriarch of the family now. Scary thought.

:( I can imagine how much of a comfort your presence was to her at the end. May your favorite memories of time together ease even a little bit of your grief.

I did my best. The last day I saw her, I did help her relax a little. Thank you.
