Thank you So much for All the Support,
I was devastated yesterday when I got the call early in the morning, I speak to my Mom everyday I am not on the Range, and Monday was no exception. We spoke Monday afternoon, I was just telling her I was coming back to CT for a party they were having in August. She was very happy and asked me to come, which I said I would. She sounded a little off, but about 2 weeks before she got dehydrated and was being looked at. She was back home and planned on calling me Tuesday as usual, we normally speak before she heads too bed.
When Dan called Tuesday morning I knew it was bad, he and I don’t really speak unless it’s important. The Silver lining in my brain, she passed peacefully in her sleep.
It’s crazy cause I always try to make her laugh, I am gonna miss her telling me, “you’re crazy” as I explained to her last month I was too busy to go to a funeral and her only windows where certain times in the Summer. She laughed as she does.
She was incredibly strong for her size, she contracted Good Pastures disease a few years ago and spent 10 months in a coma following a machine from Yale to Bridgeport to NYC, they told her a lot of things after and she beat them all. A few years ago she was with me and had a Stroke, Marc was the first to realize it. Whenever she beat the odds she would say, see I’m the strong one, I honestly thought she would outlive me some times.
I wasn’t even unpacked from Alaska, which seems to be my life lately, tripping from one thing to another.
I’m gonna miss talking to my Mom, she was awesome, I had the best possible childhood with her, she was present and engaged in all aspects of our upbringing, a rare quality today.
Thank you to Everyone, I sincerely appreciate it, and to Laura for being a rock during all this. She is awesome, so don’t cross her while I am gone, she won’t stand for it.
