Early morning, November 13, my mom, Gloria A. Tomlinson, died at age 87. When she was admitted to the hospital on November 12, the tests showed that her tired old heart was just too weak and that as a consequence her kidneys were failing. She admonished me, her Health Care Agent, that she did not want extraordinary efforts and that she would not elect to have dialysis.
Since my career is focused in serving the aging and often dealing with death & dying. I told her that I understood my orders. (After all, I have spent a life time following my mom's orders.) It never came to making that choice as her heart gave out.
My mom had a tough life and yet, a good life. She was down to earth and a often unfiltered. She always pushed me. I am the oldest of her 4 children.
I am going to set up the discussion pages for days November 14-17. I know that I can count on you all to enjoy sharing with each other while I am focused on my family.
Keep moving forward in support and care of each other,
Rick L

Much Love & 🙏🏻 for you @RangerRickL at this time...
She clearly was an amazing mom to have raised a man like you: a family man, a positive man, a responsible man, and a deeply wise man. At this difficult time, you posted these discussion pages for us. Truly, you are a Hero among men.
My best to you, Rose, and all who were lucky enough to know Gloria. Sending you all wishes of comfort & big hugs.3 -
Hugs @RangerRickL and your family. No doubt she was a great woman as you are the result of her education.3

Sending huge hugs in this difficult time @RangerRickL
I'm back on track today. Did was under and logged although choices were limited as I was too tired to shop when I got home last night. Bonus is that I don't keep unhealthy options in the house.
Run this morning and judo tonight with lots of throws happening. Small class so I got to work with 2 black belts which is super helpful!4 -
