Still very sad

Well, we've cleaned out the fridge, seen to the arrangements, talked to the lawyer, now we just have to get on with our lives but it's been very hard. I talked to Mom every day, sometimes more than once, just to see how she was doing. There's a terrible void left in my life now and I know it's going to take a long time for it to heal over.

She still has a great cat that is so lonely now and who really, really needs a new home! Great with older people, easy to be around, friendly but not too pushy.

Bad to worse

My mother died yesterday morning at 4:20, 58 days after my dad died. She had been in the hospital for a little under a week. My brother and I were with her when she crossed the bridge and it was peaceful. The week had been pretty stressful but I think Mom was ready to go. I promised I'd take care of things for her and so I am...this is pretty hard, both parents in less than two months...

One reason I haven't been blogging.

My parents have a really great cat, Susie Q, who now needs a home, one without other cats. I don't know how she'd do with kids, she's never been around any. She's about 7 years old, healthy and low key, good cat for an older couple or person or any cat person. Contact me if anyone knows of a possible home for her. I'll post a picture later.
