We hugged, kissed and said goodbye.
Backstory
The last almost 2 weeks with Dad have been the greatest gift of my life. I'm flying home tomorrow. He could live another week or another month. I will call him everyday, but I left nothing unsaid today. by marymc in Six-Word Memoirs on Nov 14, 2012 |

I know how you feel, Mary. I spent ten days with my mom before she died, and it was, indeed, a gift. The morning she died, her presence filled my room and i knew she was set free. Prayers and blessings to you.L2L3 says,
You were given the farewell that everyone wishes for, usually after the fact. Fly in peace, friend.ba_miracle says,
My sisters flew me out to see my mom months before she passed. We had a good visit, she had just started a course of medicine that gave her a bit of a lift. I got to be with her for some "perfect" time. It made a world of difference.So glad you got a little peace for this difficult time.
Prayers and good wishes heading your way.
