I took am facing something similar. When I had just arrived here, nearly four weeks ago, my ex-husband's mother went into hospital. She is 97 years old and had fallen and broken an ankle. She has been in hospital ever since but can't now remember why. I doubt if she will recover. If she dies, it may be while I am over here. This is a woman who I have known for nearly 45 years and who has done a lot for me and I am sad that her life is ending. It makes you think back, doesn't it. All the memories.Stella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-55550142046816597902011-02-02T11:30:41.246-08:002011-02-02T11:30:41.246-08:00I too am sorry to hear about Pete.

Although I had only followed him for about two months I thoroughly enjoyed what came out of his multiple minds. <br /> I knew he was not at all well and had hoped that he would overcome some of the problems and carry on.<br /> My thoughts are with you at this sad time and if you contact him or your sister you can tell him that Red will miss him terribly and thanks for all his great posts.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-20824358249576268212011-01-31T18:08:40.202-08:002011-01-31T18:08:40.202-08:00Best wishes for your brother-in-law.

And having someone close to us facing the end of their life makes us wonder how it will be for us and our mates.<br />I started on the calorie counter program last sunday, after you blogged about it. I'm down about four pounds, depending on what day it is. That goes with the territory. I was just out walking around Green Lake, and came back starving, so I grabbed a handful of peanots. Now I have to log those calories, and if I remember correctly, they are in the D- or F category.
