On this Mother's Day, May 12, 2013,
I want to send a message out to the other side - for Helen.
Dear Helen,
I just want to let you know, I am trying to take care of your son as best I can. His 87 years on this earth have taken their toll. He continues to hang in there though his hospitalization continues (17 days today) and the future is far to his liking. He continues to rise to the challenge yet his heart is back home which he remembers the best and at times is the only thing he remembers. I am sorry to say I can't take him there even though he is quite insistent. Perhaps a kind word from you or one of the others would help? I want to assure you that I will be by his side as he continues his journey back to you and all the others who have gone before.
With love from your son's daughter-in-law
Jan
