Family & friends, Mom passed a few hours after Tracy & I left on our long trip, so it?s been 2 weeks away, with a whole lot of thoughts racing through my head. I really just wanted to thank everyone for your support over the past 6 to 7 years. Whether it was sharing your experiences with dementia, the passing of one of your parents, prayers, visits with them or just listening to my ?poor me? rants over the years, it was all extremely helpful. Many of you mentioned that victims of Alzheimer?s/ dementia die a little bit each day. This was the case with my mom, so this didn?t come unexpectedly. The day before we left, we were told her passing was eminent & we did get a chance to see her a couple of times before we left to say, ?good bye?. I?m going through some weird & mixed-up emotions right now, but wanted to let you know & thank everyone for all your thoughts, words, prayers & listening skills. Thanks again, Tom
