Lost my mom this week on Sunday morning. she was 94 and had been living with us for 3 years plus. We knew the time was nearing, but you still have hope until the end. Then a day later we get a call (Tuesday morning) at 2:00am and my oldest daughter was in the hospital dilated 7cm.. 45 minutes later we are sitting there with the son in laws parents waiting for the delivery of our first grandchild. 4:32am and Paige Noelle came into the world at 6 pounds and 15 ounces! seems as though the family shed tears for three days solid! luckily most of them were tears of joy at the end!!

I am sorry for the loss of your Mom, but happy for the birth of your first Grandchild. My Mom would have been 87 today (first baby born in New York in 1927, second in the USA)

Sorry for your loss and glad to hear about the new family member. Kinda strange in the same post, but life is kinda strange sometimes.

94 is a good long life, I bet she has some stories.

I am truly saddened by the loss of your mom, the world is a lesser place because she passed into eternity.

I am truly warmed by the birth of your granddaughter. Love that little girl.
