10. I don't know if it is any comfort

Feb 2025

But she's very lucky to be loved like 'that'.

I lost my mom suddenly in June. She had just been diagnosed with onset of a type of dementia (Lewy?SP?) We lost my dad in August 2011.

She said to me a few days before she died that she wanted to go before she forgot how much she loved my dad.

She never got over it. And you know what?

That's okay.
