Last morning at Stanford....

Dave spent last night with Mom. She had a relatively peaceful night, although her breathing is labored. (I don't know if it is considered "labored" in medical terms...but, she is taking heavy breaths....remember, Mom was the retired nurse...I was in the software industry...)

Dave said that Mom did not wake up during the night when they changed her. Although she is breathing heavy, I think she is at peace. That is the all that we can hope/wish for.

I was pleasantly shocked when I got home last night. Mom received a ton of mail...Dave and I just finished reading all of the cards and letters to her. Too tell you the truth, it did make me a little curious regarding one of the letters...Mrs. Sak...we need to talk....hee hee...I did laugh when Mrs. Sak sent greetings from her "alstromeria" (flowers)...Mom really loved those flowers.

We truly do not know how "long" Mom has...but, I think it will be sooner than later. It's hard to "write" that...but, I just keep telling myself "this is what Mom wants...we need to be strong for her..."

Thank you.
