Subject: A thoughtful but sad post eulogy to a Mom.

.
She died in her apartment, 75 years-old, living alone, taking care of herself while both her legs were amputated. She lived to see her oldest son married. She did not see her middle son married nor her granddaughter. But at least she did not live to see her youngest son die of cancer. As I look back over the hardships in her life I think her thoughts of suicide were understandable. She did not have any religion to comfort her. So I think of her with immense pride now to continue with such fortitude, inspite of feelings of suicide, to raise three children, and to achieve two masters degrees and a PhD degree. What I think was amazing about my mom is that she had tremendous courage for someone who was always afraid and imparted the most important wisdom to her children even though she was often in a state of panic.
