    Sharolyn my mother was 85, if she had lived until June 4Th she would have been 86, She has been in poor health for a while, and the last 2 weeks she suffered bad, it was hard on Dad, and the rest of us to see her suffer like that, so in a way it was a blessing when she passed, but we all loved her and miss her so much.  My older sister Sandra has taking care of mother and dad for the last 9 years by herself unless she called me for help, and I would go down for weeks and months at a time to help her, a couple of years ago Sandra had 2 different kinds of cancer right after each other, so she still has side effects from her treatments, that is why I am going down in a couple of weeks to help her get the house in order.  I am so glad my husband supports me in this.

Breakfast: scramble eggs, fresh fruit and 2 bottles of water

Lunch: subway grilled chicken salad, with bean salad on top and 2 bottles of water

Supper: popcorn, fresh fruit and water
