at 1:22 am this morning, Sandie's mom passed away, quietly, and comfortably, but suddenly,and without warning,
I imagined the phone call, at first, or so I thought, but, the emergency trauma dept was on the phone asking us to get down to Hamilton General right away!!
Withing a few seconds of arriving, Sandie, her sister Dianna, brother in law Ross, and I, were wisked aside, and told that she had JUST died,as we were coming in, and the family's wishes were upheld, that only mild resusitate actions be taken,and the trauma doctor, was amazing, in presenting the bad news.
After some time with her, at her bedside, the grieving process began, and we all left...Sandie and I looking for the nearest open Tim Horton's......
Suddenly, we realized we had forgotten her teeth, by her bedside, so, raced back to the hospital emergency dept, to retrieve her plates, so it begins.....
