I got scared when I woke this morning and found my brother had disappeared in the middle of the night. I just got off the phone with the people at Hospice. My mother is in active death as they put it. Meaning that it could be at any time now. I know I wasn't woken to go up there because I have Brittany to consider and she can't be left alone now. Which is ok... I had the opportunity to be with my mother quite a bit through this. Though I am sorry I am not there with her now. The nurses say that she will not make it through the day. That they are actually surprised she made it through the night. That is my mother... so strong to the very end. Which is something I knew for a long time now. When the time comes it would never be because she just given up. I knew that she would fight it to the very end. It is just so like her. I hate the idea of her suffering like this to fight it... but that is just her... who she truly is.
I will be calling the school here shortly to talk to them about Brittany. And make it so we can talk to her counselor and teachers. As she will be needing time off... my mother was much more then a grandmother to her. With the loss of my wife when Brittany was a newborn, my mother became more like a mother to her then a grandmother.
Sure I was expecting this... and knew for a while it was inevitable... but there is still a big part of me that can't believe it is time to say our final goodbyes to her.

I am so very sorry the time has come Pete. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I can only hope that when she does pass she simply goes to sleep.
May she rest in peace.

Pete,
Sorry to hear and I'm glad and proud you seem to have a grip on how this will effect Brittany. You a great man and a great dad. Peace be with your mom and your family.
God Bless.

I just got back from the school with Brittany. The first thing I did when we got back was check the caller ID. What do I see? One of my brother's cell phone numbers. So I called him back. And it is over. My mother, such a wonderful, kind and strong woman is no longer with us. She passed away at 7:05am... about 5 minutes after we left the house to go to the school.
I feel so totally lost right now. I mean even though I knew it was coming I can't believe how hard it is still hitting me. I so hated going into the living room to tell Brittany that it is over. She was more then a grandmother to her. She was the closest thing to a mother she ever knew.

I'm so sorry, Pete. Obviously I never knew your mother, but I've come to know you through this forum and she was clearly a wonderful person, if only for the family that obviously had all the time in the world for her. In a sense, you were blessed and you always will be by her memory and what she leaves behind.
I know it can't feel like that right now.
My condolances, Pete. Keep strong, roll with the next few days and stay in touch as much as you need.
