I still plan to do it as it was also for niece's enjoyment and excitement...just won't be exactly the same as our reason for starting it.

When I took the draft obit over to my sister's for her to look at it, it was funny as niece sidled up to me and said, "Soooooooooooooo...(long pause)...did you hear what happened today?"...she was relieved to know that I did know. :)

Niblings can be awesome! How sweet of her to empathize beyond just the basic feelings.
 
Long day is getting longer :( too wired to sleep...thankfully I don't have to be up early tomorrow and it isn't a paper delivery week
 
slept a little - too little...couple cousins phoned back this morning...getting ready to go meet with the funeral home director and after that it's to the hospital to clean out her room
 
(((((BethAnne))))) - just got back from a night away from home. In my absence a hard time has dropped into your life. So sorry to hear about your mum and the dreadful level of care she received. I hope you be able to gain some comfort from knowing you did the best you could do throughout this difficult time. .
 
It seems we missed the violent storm that attacked Red Deer this afternoon...funeral home meeting went better and smoother than expected - they were amazed at how organized I was as I had all the info they requested and then some...when we were cleaning out the hospital room the nurse on duty was the nurse who was with mom when she died so we were able to chat with her - she said it was a very quick and peaceful death (which is very good as dad's wasn't - his face and body were all contorted when he died) - also got to see mom's roommate before we left and give her a hug - she asked for a solar bobbing flower ornament that I had given mom so gave it to her and thanked her for watching out for mom...stopped to see a good friend who owns a business in Stettler as I really needed a hug (or three)...now I have the boxes and bags from the hospital to unpack but will deal with that another day - I've done enough for today

That is a lot for 1 day-funeral home sorted and hospital cleanout done, and the travel associated with both.

Thankfully I had a driver and she helped with the room clean-out too as I had promised another friend that I would not do it alone no matter what.

also got to see mom's roommate before we left and give her a hug - she asked for a solar bobbing flower ornament that I had given mom so gave it to her and thanked her for watching out for mom...

Those hospital roommate encounters can be extremely powerful, in my experience. @chansen has talked about his interactions with other parents . . .

How nice that you were able to pass along the bobbing flower ornament! I am sure it was very much appreciated.

such a small simple thing yet it made her day
 
You got a lot done today @BethAnne. Now it's time to put your feet up. I'm glad you were able to talk with the nurse. I'm sure that was comforting. It's also cool you got to pay it forward. Hugs to you.
