Hashem allowed me to spend the last days of my mother’s life catering to her and caring for her. This is something that my siblings chose not to do because they did not want to change their plans for second days Succos. B”H I changed my plans and had my mother all to myself. Whether she was conscious or not, she was alive and she was MY mother who I had an opportunity to care for and give back to; to respect and to honor; to love and to daven for and do whatever I could to send her off in a loving, respectful and dignified manner. THIS was a gift to me from Hashem, one that was so grand and so gracious that words can’t even describe. My gratitude is beyond words.
