Seeing Mom's smile is especially important to me tonight, because she passed away today.
It's probably been said before, but:
Stress can make your band tight.
Driving home from work tonight, I was so hungry I could have eaten my own arm.
My husband greeted me with the news that my mom (age 90) had passed away this morning.
Not really a surprise - I think she was ready to go - but later when I sat down to eat supper, two small bites of very mushy eggplant parmesan got stuck.
But no big deal. I have maybe 30-35 more years to eat eggplant parmesan. What matters is that when I saw Mom yesterday, I got her to eat two bites of chocolate cookie. Yeah, it was Thanksgiving, but she'd rather eat one bite of something chocolate than 10 lbs of pumpkin pie.

So, eat a bite of something chocolate tonight, and say, "This is for Betty."
