A. M. Adams August 8 1967-- present
So today is complicated. Handsome Partner died in hospice at home; at that moment the only person with him was Handsome Son, whose birthday it was.
After nine years of full on caregiving, I had just stepped out for a minute. Medical staff told me this is not unusual, for someone to die when their nearest is out of the room for a moment.
So today is a quiet thoughtful one. I made a trip to Handsome Son's condo to leave a little birthday something to find when he gets home from work.
And I'll just breathe.
Thinking of you, Liz.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you too.
ReplyDeleteSending a hug across the miles...thinking of you.

Sending hugs to you and your son.
ReplyDeletecelebrating a life and mourning a death on the same day, two sides of the same coin.
ReplyDeleteSorry, sorry, i've been out journeying mentally and missed this.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, this is complicated, like fire and ice at the same time.
As you say, just breathe.
Birth and death are both miracles, in their own way. ((hugs))
Breathing is all you can do - and think of the good memories.
