Well, it seems the universe had other plans. Mom passed away this morning around 4:00am. My brother called me this morning around 8:00am to share the news.

Alzheimers is the Devil's own business for certain, but its one consolation is that you have plenty of time to adjust to the inevitable. As runningman said above, my mom has been gone for three years. We've just been waiting for her body to get the message. Indeed, by the time you hit the late stages of Alzheimers, you're actually hoping for them to pass. The strong, vibrant woman who raised two kids by herself wouldn't have wanted to live like that, and both my brother and I agree that it's more of a relief than anything that she doesn't have to anymore.

Nonetheless, no matter how ready you may think you are, no matter how much you've braced yourself for it, it's still tough to actually hear the words.

Gentlemen, your well-wishing has been truly appreciated. I am grateful that I can count you folks among my friends.

My deepest condolences. Having lost my mom just last October (not with Alzheimer’s but kidney failure after a ten-month journey), the simultaneous sting of loss and relief from circumstances creates a mental minefield for some. You’ll indeed be in my prayers.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it brings you some peace to know she’s no longer suffering. Condolences

Sorry to hear about your loss. At least you know she is in a better place now.

ExtremeUnction,

By just reading your post about your loss of your Mother your character stands strong. It takes time to heal the pain of losing someone as dear as a parent but at least you know she is not suffering anymore. Stay strong and remember that your "second family" here is supporting you. Bless you and your family in this hard time. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Well, once again I am truly grateful for all the kind words. A burden shared is a burden lessened.

I feel like I gotta give y'all permission to talk about trucking again, though, so have at it.

Time to head out. Just waiting on the call from the mothership telling me which direction to go. Truck is overdue for a service, need new steer tires, and have to have that new trailer tire they put on my drives last month replaced when I picked up a piece of metal in Miami.

@ExtremeUnction, I hope you’re doing well in this trying time. Thinking of you brother.

Yeah man, I'm doing groovy. HQ couldn't find me anything from Memphis to Shreveport (or even anything close by), so they're just letting me deadhead down there and eating the miles. Awful nice of them, I thought.
