And I'm so sorry about your mom. I hope that she didn't suffer. I'm pretty sure that my dad was pain-free, so thank goodness for that. But there was the fighting for breath that causes a lot of anxiety, with which I'm sure you are familiar. Yes, drjay does get it, but so do you. You know exactly what to say to someone who's hurting... *hugs* Oh, Bird, thank you so much for your kind words—no apologies necessary, really. And I’m so sorry about your mom.

My mum died of emphysema, I know what a cruel illness it is. This is a raw time of year to be missing somebody (not that it's good at any time) so please be gentle with yourself. As ever Dr Jay gets it, you are in the storm but you'll come through. I've been out of blogland so I'm sorry that this is late. I’m so sorry Holly.

Your words and continued visits to the blog mean a lot. You're a good blog friend. * Hi sharkbytes and thank you so much for stopping to comment. I'm doing fine and yes, that hilltop is a beautiful place. * Hi Bella Rose and thank you for stopping to comment. No matter that you're new here--all are welcome! Thank you so much for your kind words. * Hi AJ and thank you for stopping and commenting. Yes, this spot, chosen for the family cemetery decades ago by my grandparents, is very beautiful. * Hi nothingprofound and thank you so much. Yes, it is monumental, as I'm discovering. To not have someone there, who has been there your whole life, is quite mind-boggling...very hard to wrap one's head around. Thanks so much, Joanne.
