That was my Mom. My Dad died in 1987, and when my Father-in-Law died in 2003 Mom realized all of the family and friends from her generation were gone. She died less than a year later at the age of 88, but during those last months often wondered aloud "Everyone else is gone. Why am I still here?"When my Mother passed away, I got a phone call from her best friend who was 98. She was crying, and said to me, "all my friends are gone," I didn't know what to say! She passed away a few months latter. Sure puts living a long life into perspective!
