What is it with people wanting to draw out their conversations with me this week?  I answered your questions, you appeared to have understood my answers, just say goodbye and let me hangup!

You've got a really sexy voice?::P:

My mom died February 1st, but I did not feel like posting anything here until now.  Watched the funeral via streaming this morning at 5am with my husband and son.  The servece was at noon Norway time, but very early here in Iowa due to the 7 hour time difference.  Beautiful service.

 

In December last year I learned my mother had Alzheimer's.  Last week she was at a short-term facility, so my dad could have a break. On Tuesday 1 February, she left the center thinly clad in heavy snow. A large search operation was launched with 2 helicopters, 11-12 police patrols, over 40 volunteers from the Red Cross, Norwegian People's Aid, plus family and friends, as well as 24 dogs from Norwegian Rescue Dogs. About 6 hours later, she was found by a dog patrol 8 km away from the center, severely chilled. Life-saving first aid was given from the time she was found and she was airlifted to Ullevål hospital in Oslo, but her life could not be saved.

 

It still feels unreal.

My sincerest condolences.

We are here for you when you are ready.

I am so sorry for your loss. It has been a very long time since I lost my mother & father. It still is difficult for me to believe that they are not here anymore.

Maybe? :lol:

There was a time in the Navy where my voice was quite popular with ladies in the security shack when I called them for radio checks. 

But I thought that was these magic words, not my voice:

"Bastille Sierra, this is Bastille Foxtrot. Radio Check".

Alzheimer’s and dementia are horrible. You have my deepest sympathies.

This is a really good analogy. It definitely still hurts like hell when that button gets pressed.
