Jim's sweet Mom passed away last month, and was finally reunited with Grandpa after 8 long months. She asked for Grandpa every single day. The days that she was not all there, she would ask where he was. The times her memory was good, she would ask why he left her and when he was coming back to get her. She would say "He promised me it wouldn't be long, why hasn't he come yet?" He was always the one thing on her mind, no matter how her health was. She waited until we had a birthday party for her, and all of her children and most of her grandchildren were there to say goodbye to her. The next morning, we got the news that she had passed. It was a bittersweet day, and a most difficult one for Jim. We were happy that she finally got her "Birthday wish" to be with Grandpa again, but I don't think you can ever prepare yourself fully to lose your Mom.
