Peace at Last

Mom passed away yesterday. Her longtime caregiver, Eva was with her. Eva had just finishing cleaning Mom and was brushing her hair and rubbing the back of her neck. Mom's hand dropped from her lap, her face turned pale and she stopped breathing. It's a sweet peaceful end to such an arduous journey. Mom was with her loving aide who she adored - and Eva loved her.
Mom suffers no longer. And those of us who loved her don't have to watch her languish any more. I hope the time comes quickly when I can think only of Mom in her vibrant, vital life, and diminish the dominance of her long journey to finally rest.
