The Response

Matt:  Sorry for the delay in responding.  I have had a rough couple of days with Dad.  We have an appointment today for vestibular therapy to try to get rid of the dizziness, nausea and vomiting.    I did not hear you ask how I was when you came in on Tuesday.  I had to get new hearing aids and am still trying to get them adjusted.  Anyway, I do have heart issues and I have a couple of doctor appointments over the next 2 weeks.  The new medicine seems to be helping to regulate my heart rhythm, at least for now.  It was a nice visit on Tuesday.  You are my son and I will always love you.  Mom

Not really sure how I feel about any of that. However, it becomes clear there is no making anything better, no healing. That’s sad. But, I wanted closure. Now I have it. I can move on knowing that I extended myself the best that I could and there is nothing more I can do.

onward and upward, I suppose.
