A few of you might remember me talking a couple weeks ago about how my mother was dying. Well, it's over now. I gave my father a call Wednesday night to see if our plans to meet up yesterday were still good and he told me she was pretty much in the final stages. Was hoping to get over there yesterday afternoon but when I woke up I checked my phone and saw my dad had called me five times (I keep my phone on vibrate so it doesn't wake me up if it's not in my bedroom). Pretty much knew what it was going to be, either she was gone or had been taken to the hospital and would soon be gone. Ended up being the former. Passed away in her sleep in the early morning.

It's hard to really put into words how I feel. My mom suffered from MS so her condition has been gradually deteriorating for almost my entire life. The past few months it's been obvious things weren't going well and I've known for a few weeks that this was imminent. I think in some ways that's made it easier, I pretty much already came to terms with it before it even happened. I was pretty out of it for an hour or so yesterday but I've been able to keep it together mostly fine since then. Only tough time was when I went over to visit my father. My mother has been mostly bedridden for years, and seeing her bed completely empty was pretty weird.

Don't know why but I felt like talking about this. So yeah. Thanks for existing board 8.
