I have expected it for 10+ years Mark.  She's 85 or 86, and had a stroke 
that took 99% of her speech not too ling after Linda was born, and thats 
now pushing 50 years ago.  So life has not exactly been a bed of roses, 
and now alzheimers has also set in.  Her husband has made sure she was 
well taken care of all these years, till he had a stroke and lost his 
right side about a decade ago.  He still tries, but what he can do from 
a wheelchair is limited. Basically, its time.

And at 80yo myself, and having already had that scare a year ago, I am 
well aware that none of us is going to live forever.  I just hope we can 
get there in time to say goodby, like I did with my oldest daughter in 
2007. She had not been told that she was terminal, but my last 
conversation with her as I was clearing out like 3 day old fish, was 
that none of us had a guarantee of tomorrow.  Took me most of 3 days to 
get home where Dee was beginning to need help, so as soon as I'd had a 
night in my own bed, we went to NY.  She passed that night, at about 3 
am my time.  Something woke me up and I could have sworn someone was 
standing at the foot of the couch I was crashed on, but there was 
nothing or no one there.  Her husband called at 10ish the next morning 
to tell me, and I asked what time, 2 his time which would have been 
right on the money.  Connect the dots, she woke me up as her way of 
saying goodbye.

So this time I hope we aren't too late to say goodbye.  Sadly, I missed 
that by a day when my other, younger daughter died, and I still beat me 
up over that.  Still working then , it took a day & change to get 
extricated from the tv station so I could leave for a week, and I got 
there in time for the services.  No chance to give her that final hug...
