I went to the hospital to visit dad the morning before he passed during the night. Brought him a ham biscuit from Bojangles. He sat up in bed and ate every crumb. He told me he loved me before I left. He knew he didn't have long. We got the call from the hospital right at midnight.
Mom spent the last year of her life in a nursing home. We were told a week earlier that her days were short. I got a call about 6AM on New Years day 2018, mom was asking for me. I called my brother and we got there before 7. She woke up just long enough to say, "Son, I'm going" She went back to sleep and took her last breath about 3 PM.
