My mom passed away yesterday. We were all with her including my boys. It was a precious moment and one that deepened our family bond.
These last few weeks that my dad and I cared for my mom have been very hard. There were many heartbreaking moments, but also some funny ones as well. I can understand how losing a parent can cause one to re-evaluate their life and feel the need to make changes. I'm definitely looking at my life and deciding what's important and what's not. It will take a while to re-shape things so my life works and feels right. What I don't feel the need to do is change myself in some radical way, leave my family, job, etc. MLC is even more puzzling to me now. My mom's cancer and death has brought me closer to my family and my life's purpose. I really can't relate to the MLCer who dumps everything.
Xh leaving me is insignificant in the big picture. I no longer care and haven't for some time. I really wish he would just move far away and never contact me again.
