7. There is so much to do...

It will all be tough...but I'm already scared of being left in the house alone, with the dog, even during the day. Before Mom came, I loved it but after 5 full years of 3 meals a day, dishes, pills, eye drops, doctor visits, laundry, showers and hair (in between appointments, I would roll up her hair for her), shopping (she loved to go shopping!), telling her what was on QVC and HSN, trips to San Diego to visit her granddaughter and her great grandsons...and more...the blank spot in our home is going to change our lives...my partner, who helped her on Saturday or Sunday when I worked...and found her on the floor when he came home from work before me, is destroyed.

Our entire lives have changed in what seems like an instant...
