On Tuesday, the doctor said 2 to 5 days.
My main role will be to help my daughter when her father passes away.
But the call means something scary to me.
As soon as I stood up to my (then) husband, that look of love went out of his eyes. It never came back, and I knew it wouldn’t.
When my mom died, and the call came, it didn’t seem like death, because there was so much positive relating to each other that death didn’t seem strong enough to squelch it.
When this call comes, it will feel like a death.

I do know what you mean by the loss of that ‘look’.
Thinking of you at this time. It must be very difficult for you.

Thank you for thinking of me!

We both were blessed to have ties with our mothers that survived it “all”. And I’ve seen that “look” disappear, too. It’s unmistakable when it happens, but sometimes it’s better to see that reality and move on than to be the only person in the world who hasn’t seen it.

Since I’m supposed to be celebrating disillusionment, I’d better get back on track.
