This blog update is one of the hardest things I have done. I have tried 3 times to get it done also and kept loosing signal. So here it is edited,,,,I hope.
We got to Yuma Sunday on the 6th and saw Mom. We were able to stay until Tues afternoon, then took our load up to Las Vegas and made it back Wed afternoon.
We spent the nite with Mom and Thurs had a good visit with her, got to show her pics of our son and his new fiance'. Fri things took a turn for the worse. She was not coming around for the few times a day. My middle brother came out Friday nite, and Saturday we were told her organs were shutting down. WOW, what a thing to deal with.
My younger brother and his wife was called and made it Sunday, so the entire immediate family was there.
Monday she was sent to a hospice/nursing home, due to no more treatment at the hospital, they did all they could. We took shifts and stayed with her 24/7.
On Wed, Jan 16, my Mom passed away at 5:30pm.
Heaven has an angel back, she truely was an angel on earth, and will be soooo very missed by us.
With all the family there to make arrangements to get her back to Okla, everyone told us to get back on the board and drive, that would be some of our therapy. We were deadheaded to Nogales, Az for a load and took it to our terminal in Taylor, Mi. (Detroit area). a good 2000+mi run. From there we were sent to Chicago area for a load headed to our drop yard at KC, MO. This was a relay, meaning it was picked up and continued by another team.
We pick up a trailer there the next morning after a well needed nite of sleep and took it to Davenport, Ia. This had some time on it, so we were able to stop in Des Moines and visit with our daughter and her boyfriend. Kinda nice to be able to visit the family and friends spread out all over the country. I just wish it were under better circumstances.
From Davenport we went to Fort Madison, Ia for a load that was to relay in Joplin. We are finally getting our truck.
We are now in Joplin moving into the new truck, and will be making arrangements to go to Tulsa for my Mom's memorial service on Friday.
Give your loved ones an extra hug, life can change so quickly.
Till next time, keep it safe out there
