Very sorry to hear that, Chuck--thoughts & prayers to you and your family for the strength to make it through this difficult time.
Throughout the day we shared some stories and some pain. The bittersweet moment of the day came when she hugged me after dinner and said "thanks". I said "your welcome, for what?" she replied "your stupid rules". I laughed and said which one. I have a lot to pick from and had no idea where she was going with this based on what we were talking about. My mother raised my brother and I to never go to bed angry at one another. No matter how mad we got at each other and no mater how long it took to resolve we would fight all night but go to bed with it resolved. I have tried to raise my children the same way. The last night they spoke, they got into a huge argument. She wanted to hang up angry but stayed up half the night until they resolved it.
The last words they had were good.
Chuck
