Expect, within the next 12 hours:
- Many interesting observations regarding our trip, hmmm, it's yesterday, now, isn't it;
- Lot's of intriguing thoughts, words and support exchanged throughout the day;
- Provocative subjects broached such as, "What is it like to die the way my mother is likely to die?"
- A shockingly poignant description of her understandable diagnosis that both rent my heart and caused me to feel autonomically, humbly grateful to be with her now;
- An interesting smoking occurrence involving spending the evening in a smoking household, so I did not disallow Mom's automatic smoking but monitored it, made sure she didn't chain smoke; and the results, both objectively and with a comic slant.
And, I am beat. And somewhat lighter of heart. I am going to bed.
Later.
