Judy telephoned the school at 1:40, and Bunny came down from the office to fetc…
…h me herself, so I knew before I picked up. Mom has stopped eating. She sleeps most of the day, and the hospice nurse says days, perhaps a week.
Sub plans are on the desk. Patricia said go, and not to think about the book fair. R. will stay here with Gus until I call.
I leave at six. The roads are clear to Tomah.

She woke about eleven and looked at me for a while and said, "Margaret. You have your coat on. Are you coming or going?" I said I was staying. She said, "Well, take it off, then."
That is the most she said…

Walt sat with her this morning and read her the farm report out of the paper, milk prices and all, as he used to do for Dad. Pastor Lindquist came at two, and we sang, the four of us, without a book: Judy on the melody, Walt a third below as always, I…

Judy and I were both there. Judy had the night, and telephoned Walt's a little after four because the breathing had changed, and Walt and I drove over on empty streets before the heater was warm. At half past six he went down the hall for coffee. He was gone ten minutes, and those were the ten minutes. I…

We buried Mom today.
About 140 people at Our Saviour's, which for a woman of eighty-seven, on a Friday in February, at four below zero, is a compliment she would have noted. What is left of the Ladies Aid sat together in the fourth pew on the left, where they always did. Vi came from Bethel Ridge in the van with two aides.
Judy read the…

We drove to Eau Claire yesterday for the burial and back the same night. Thirty people at the graveside, standing apart in masks; the pastor's voice went off with the wind and I caught about half. Nobody could hold Judy. Her children stood on either side of her with th…

We have not been alone together for two weeks since we shared a bedroom in La Crosse. On the third night she told me to stop refolding her map. We have talked about Mom most evenings. Judy remembers a softer woman than I do. She was the youngest, and Mom was tired by then.
