The idiotic scope of human life reasserted itself, giving sweet and kind old Dutch woman a stroke, a punctured lung and dementia, complete with a all expense due trip to the Hospice facility in Kirkland. It truly fails my sense of fairness how death creeps up us, to seize the weakest and least offensive of our tribe. Why is our existence predicated on our eventual demise? Why are we here to simply whither and die? Reny is my last parent, my wife's mother but someone who accepted me into her family and who I have loved as a mom for over thirty five years and I already miss her.
