Quietly in her sleep

There was no recovery. Mother was moved to a nursing home this past week where she apparently gained some sense of awareness and was even fed some applesauce.

Last night her breathing became slowly quieter till it was no more.

I'm writing her obituary today. Maybe I'll post it.

Obviously we don't know each other, and this is my first visit to your blog, but I wanted to convey my deepest sympathy to you and yours. I'm so sorry to read of your mother's passing. At least it was peaceful.

Thanks Alex. This Tango world is so much about living. And by encompassing the fullness of life it also engages death.

I look forward to meeting some day.
