NO STORIES THIS WEEK by Dede Ranahan

My 101 year-old mother, Evelyn or GG, is in the hospital and that’s where I’ve been every day for a week. My family and I don’t want her to be alone when she passes. She doesn’t want to go :-( She’s always been a fighter (stubborn might be another word :-) We don’t want her to leave, either, but her quality of life is deteriorating quickly. Please hold good thoughts for her.

My mother, Evelyn, and me 1945. I love you, Mom. It’s okay to go. Pat’s waiting for you. He wants to give you a hug.
