I haven't posted much here the past 2 days. My mom is in the process of passing away. A hospice assessor confirmed today. She has late stage Parkinson's and developed pneumonia which is not a good combination. As with any sane person, I adore my mom. Always have. She made me into who I am today. I would not have the desire, self-confidence, but also humility without her. She is my favorite relative, her dad is a very close second.
Really no reason for posting other than I have notified the rest of my family. Felt I should say to you as well. I love my mom but it's time for her to move to the next stage. Still not easy to deal with. I have actually drank a lot less the past 2 days. I like me better that way. You know how it goes, spending 14 hours at the hospital/home/assisted living. Surprised I have handled it well which gives me hope that I am long term quit and the anxiety is getting better.
So, I post this in the spirit of NOLAQ who lost both of his parents and remained quit. Also Pr0f who lost his dad and remained quit. I will do the same. With no danger of tobacco because KTC has set my quit compass in the right direction. Thanks KTC.
