Update On My Ex
I talked to my daughter this evening. My ex is not talking or eating. The hospital is trying to keep her as comfortable as they can. Our son is staying the night with her and our daughter is going in tomorrow morning to relieve him. The grand-kids are being taken out of school tomorrow afternoon to go see her.
I plan to go see her too, if there isn't too much traffic in and out of her room tomorrow. If there is, I will go Wednesday. I want to have a "special time" with just her and I, if at all possible. I want to allow her to say what she wants to say, ask any questions she might have before she passes away. It may be too late for that now, if she can not talk or is still unresponsive. I sent word over a month ago, that I wanted to talk to her but, I didn't receive an answer till Sat. She said she would talk to me. Now, this.
This is so hard on my daughter because she and her mom have always been very close. She said to me this morning "Dad, how do I tell mom, goodbye"? Man, this is tough.

{{HUGS}}... still have that talk... they can still hear and just being there in support is the most special thing you can give.
Just your presence there with her will hopefully allow her some closure too, and I am sure it would mean a tremendous amount to your kids. I know this has to be so very very hard on you all.
