Lynn49 yeah it's been a while now though but I still think about her especially on that day. We knew she was dying though but still was hard. They gave her 6 months to live and a week later changed it to 3 months and then a week after that she died. She was on the palliative care floor of the hospital in Vancouver. She wasn't allowed visitors because she was completely out of it. She kinda was coming around and they said I could see her, so on my way home from work christmas morning I stopped by the hospital and santa visited her in the hospital. Christmas night I woke up about 8pm and thought there was a message for me on the phone but the light wasn't blinking so I took a shower to get ready for work. When I was done with my shower the light on my phone was blinking now and it was the hospital telling me my mom had passed away at 8pm and please call them. The shuttle driver from the hotel picked me up and drove me to the hospital. Then he gave me a ride to the hotel, not to work though. The gm said he was taking my next couple shifts for me but he didn't want me to be alone and said I could stay at the hotel for a few days. Over the next few hours I made arriangements with a funeral service to do my moms cremation and my uncle came from Timmins to help me. My uncle and the funeral home were impressed how well I handled everything.
