It was good for you to be there. We said good-bye to my mother-in-law and told her we loved her. She passed 10 minutes after we left the hospital. She was 93.

I lost my mother when she was 58 on Christmas Eve 1983. My brothers and I were there but my sister was on her way from Kentucky.

Christmas has sucked every year since.

Again, peace to you and your family.
