Just over a year ago, we moved Master's mother into a nursing home facility, believing that she was very near the end of her life as her Alzheimer's had progressed. None of us believed that she would still be with us now, a year later. She is a tough lady -- a real fighter. This last week though, has seen her come into a renewed stage of decline and seeming crisis. Again, we are sensing that we are nearing the end. It is a time of deepening sadness for us all as we try to find ways to hold onto each other, remember, and say goodbye to one who is increasingly unable to find words to say her own goodbyes.
So... if it seems quiet here, you'll know why.

I hope she and you all find peace and comfort during these times. It's tough - and I'm glad you have family/loved ones to be with.
