Everything was peaceful. We were all sleeping and cozy, when the phone started to ring. She thought She was dreaming and didn't answer the phone in time. In a few minutes it rang again. This time He got it and talked to a lady who said they were taking His mother to the ER. ( I believe that's in a hospital.) After that, the phone rang about a dozen more times. They were awake by then, even though it was the middle of the night. The calls stopped and we all went back to sleep. Just when it was starting to be light in the sky, the phone rang one more time, and the lady on the phone told Him that His mother had died. When a person's mother dies, you are supposed to feel sad. When the person is 94 years old and doesn't know anything anymore, how can you be sad? The old woman had not been happy, did not feel good, and was confused for a long time, He said. The old woman had cost Him and Her a lot of trouble about her money. The old woman had cost Her a friendship that She had treasured. She was not sad the His mother was gone. They were both relieved, it seemed like. Even though there isn't any money left, She feels as if She had been set free. I am glad I am not a person. These things are very hard to figure out. I hope He and She can have a peaceful life now. After all, They have very nice cats.
I'll check back with you tomorrow.
