The roller coaster ride is over at last. We still thought the ride might turn up the next day, but it didn't happen.
My dear MIL was diagnosed with an inoperable Anaplastic Astrocytoma in July, 2008. Biopsy was done in June, 2009. She had a 3 week radiation, when she noticeably deteriorated and was advised to drop all the treatment. In August, 2009, she moved to her daughter's place and got an in-home hospice care. Last Wednesday, she went to ER for pneumonia and passed away after two days. It was 2 week before her 65th birthday.
She gave us a lot of hope, laughter and love. She had an unimaginably big heart and is remembered by so many people in special ways.
