My mom passed away on 10/16/2026. She was surrounded by loved ones. Her journey is complete. She brought love and beauty into the lives she touched and will be missed.

My mom has lived longer than medical signs such as liquid intake or blood oxygen would predict. Her resilience is amazing. It is sad to see her struggle to breathe. I am grateful for her and sad that her time drawing to a close.

The hospice nurse has told us that my mom probably has hours left until she passes. She has had a wonderful life. I will miss her.

The hospice nurse told our family that my mom could pass within a week. There is no way to know for certain, but some of the medical signs suggest she may only have a few days. I am grateful for her and will miss her.

My brother, Matt, and sister-in-law, Katherine have come to visit. It is great to see them and am glad they can spend some time with us.

This has been a challenging week with very high caregiving needs for my mom. I had to take the week off from work to take care of her. Even with my wife and I working together, it is a challenge to provide the type of care my mom needs.

The weekend went by very quickly. I was glad to have some time today to see my daughters. I’m looking forward to a good week.

It is 70 F and sunny — A beautiful fall day in North Carolina. I’m glad I have the day off and can enjoy the day.

I decided to create Vlog entry on my birthday. This is my first Vlog on the micro.blog platform. Hopefully, I’ll get better with practice.

I’m grateful to have completed a challenging workweek.
