Thanks everyone.  I just received word that he has passed.  I’m sat on the ferry admiring the breathtaking views in tears.  I know that he’s at peace now and am thankful that my mom was able to be there with him.

so sorry for your loss.

I’m so very sorry, FE. I hope when you get there, you and your mom can cry together and bring each other comfort (hopefully some smiles, too).

I was talking with my cousin earlier, who's grown quite close with my mom.  She said something to the effect of how we typically see our parents as our parents, vs. their own people who had a complete history prior to having children.

I always knew this rationally, but it still hit home - and hard, for some reason.

Maybe because my mom is nearing 90 (and still out and about AND driving ), I know it's on me to make peace with what I still resent her for.  I need to forgive her, as I've done for myself.  I think I owe that to both of us.

Hadn't listened to that one before.  When Deb/The Weepies swing back by, it'll be a solo trip (my people will not go) but oh how wonderful it will it be to see live music again.
