Family & Home: 25. Visit Helga at least twice a month

Good news/sad news.

Good news: I've been visiting Helga FAR more than twice a month. We've spent a lot of quality time together, and some visits have been wonderful.

Sad news: She's dying. Her lung cancer is getting worse. She had a heart attack a month ago. She was in and out of the hospital for a while, and now she's in an assisted living home. She's miserable, and in pain, and most of the time she doesn't know who I am.

Nonetheless, I'm going to see her whenever I can, and I'm just hoping for some more good visits.

EDITED TO ADD:
Helga passed away on May 6th. I will forever miss her.

And you made her last days as good as they could have been. I'm glad that you had that time with her.

I love you.
