My 98 year old mom died on 12/12 - COVID-19 related.

47. What a sad story, yet it's not your mother I feel sad for.

She lived a long, and from the sound of it, good life. 98 years old is well into extra innings, and she had people that loved and cared for her till the very, very end.

I feel bad for you, and I know what you mean about "last man standing." My only sibling, a sister, 7 years my junior, died a few years ago of PSP - Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a Parkinsonism.

There is no one between me and eternity, so to speak. It's a very existential feeling, isn't it? I hope you are at peace with what's transpired, and I guess we just do what we do, from here on out.

All the best that the season holds to you and yours. Without a trace of irony.
