14 years ago, around this time of day, we unplugged mom's respirator. Still hurts the same. #MissYouMom

Waking up. Not feeling like doing anything else after this, and I probably won't. #MissYouMom

Waves of sadness still coming and going. I hope they subside by January. #MissYouMom
13 years since I posted this, and it still hurts like if it had been yesterday. :'( #MissYouMom
Back at my desk, feeling the increase in gloom and sadness that usually happens every year, around this week. #MissYouMom
Couldn't sleep last night. My mother and I had our last conversation 10 years ago today.
Moments after I left the hospital, their screw-up left her a vegetable until she passed away 10 months later. #MissYouMom
This song always makes me think of my mom, gone for 7 years. #MissYouMom
TEN YEARS AGO TODAY, I had to rush my mother to the hospital just hours after her third round of #chemo.
Three days later, the hospital caused a collapsed lung. A week after that, cardiac arrest left her a vegetable (where she lingered for the next 9 months before she died of a second heart attack.)
Autopsy proved SHE NEVER HAD #CANCER. Couldn't sue b/c #Texas protects incompetent dangerous doctors from lawsuits in the name of "#TortReform". #MissYouMom

Watching a NHK nature doc on the adorable #PallasCat in its native Mongolia (a\k\a fluffy teddy cat)

Wildlife shows also make me sad: not only is nature unforgiving, but Mom & I used to watch these shows together all the time during the last 2 years of her life. Seeing the mother cat's sacrifices & patience reminds me of our conversations. And of Mom's care for me despite all her hardships #MissYouMom
It’s #NationalPancreaticCancerDay. We donated to the #LustgartenFoundation in memory of our gammy (my mom). Here’s to more research, early detection, and better treatments #pancreaticcancerawareness #pancreaticcancer #earlydetection #donate #savelives #missyoumom
