A Resurrection Story.

During the decade of her life, my mummy often wound up in the hospice. One afternoon she got a new roommate, her 3rd.

The little grey-haired woman, whom I will call Mrs Anderson, was sleeping the far distant sleep of the almost-dead. She had left this planet in her mind, and her body was going to follow.

Click now if you need stories about term vs whole life insurance. All of us reveals frequent, fresh reasons to miss its loss - as more of our non-public space is chipped away.

Still the Anderson children crooned to their mum, talked to her, held her hand, stroked her hair. She and I spent the subsequent 2 and a half hours in the guts of the infirmary. At 7 they wheeled Mother into her hospital room.
