Preparing to Disembark: Part Trois

My suitcase is packed and loaded in the car.

Mom, formally referred to as The Woman Who Bore Me, is resting. Her breathing, for the first time today, is inaudible.

I'm minutes from actually, really, leaving.

How do you describe with letters the sound of a heavy exhale? Hahhhhhhhhhhh? Does that work? Picture the exhale that comes from the toes. That's the one that just came out of me.

Thanks to all who offered words of encouragement and support. Thanks especially to the incredible Home Health professionals who turned a seemingly impossible situation into an optimistic one.

C'est tout.......for now.
