My cousin Nancy passed away last evening. I am so grateful her suffering has ended. It had truly been awful since Sunday. As I told my grandmother last evening...this makes three for our family in just 33 days, and I'm hopeful that is the end of it.
Ironically, the very last time I saw Nancy was exactly two years ago yesterday. Her husband brought her to my dad's visitation. She was already suffering from Alzheimer's, and I'm not sure that she really understood what was happening. It was just two months later that she entered a nursing home to help care for her.
Two years ago today we buried my dad. Having all of these family members pass brings back the stress and emotion of two years ago. It's turning into something of a stressful Fall itself, but I never forget how very blessed life truly is!
