Very difficult day and night on this Thanksgiving Eve. Last year at this time we were heading to my parent's house to surprise Mom. I can still see her sitting at the table asking, "But why are you here?" And then answering her own question by stating, "Oh. Because this may be my last Thanksgiving." And it was. This weekend last year was the last time I saw Mom at home b/c the next two times I saw her were in the hospital.
She did most of the Thanksgiving meal last year both on Thursday and the following Sunday when we usually celebrated w/ the entire family. Most years she did it all, so the fact that she did most of it meant she wasn't feeling well. It literally took death to slow Mom down.
